That mysterious dot in between my eyes...

[Guest guest]

I recently had surgery, May 5th. After surgery I noticed that I had a little

dot, like a pimple that I picked or something, in between my eyes on the bridge

of my nose. I remember thinking, " I didn't have a pimple.... and I didn't run

into anything, I couldn't have.... I was in surgery. "

Yes, I am one of those people who gets bruises and doesn't remember how. I run

into things... doors, walls, other people.... yeah, it's bad.

Anyway, I was joking to my husband about how the surgeon must have used that dot

to line up my face... little did I know!

While in my OS's office, I asked him about it. " Hey, Doc.... what's up with

this little dot between my eyes... did you line up my face with it or what? "

" Well, actually, we did.... "

" So, what was it, like a thumb tack or something? You just poke it in? "

My husband, " Yeah, he hung a plumb-bob from it! "

" No, no, nothing as gruesome as a thumb tack.... more like a bar-be-que skewer.

We just sort of line it up and hammer it into your nose....And you're right, it

works on pretty much the same principle as a plumb-bob. We take measurements

from it and make sure both sides are even. "

" Uh....... oh..... just wondering..... "

I have a comedian for a OS.

I had something similar, but it was more like a bruise of sorts. I

asked my surgeon if he'd done something like what you described in

the OR, and he swears not, he thinks it might have been the tape

used to hold down the tubes going into my nose so they were out of

the way of the surgeon.

I too had a dot!

Definitely a little puncture of some kind between my eyes. Not

exactly in the middle though.

Couldnt figure it out.

Not everybody has that, but I have heard of it before.

I had the dot too. I think it's caused by some sort of contraption

used during surgery to retain symmetry. While I'm glad such a thing

exists, that darn dot took longer to go away than almost any other

surgical effect. For a while it felt like one of those awful, deep

pimples under my skin, but it wasn't. It did go away, though it

took it's own sweet time, and I'm talking several months here.

My surgeon told me to expect the same thing, he said I would have one

very small spot between my eyes and one on each side under my jaw

line, and that these would be used for measuring.
