It was a Saturday night. There's blood. There's stitches.

Sorry about that if you're queasy about those kind of things.

You can't even hear the word blood without getting a little sick.

Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is Ascension Presents.

I think it was maybe like three weeks ago. Six weeks ago, five weeks ago,

I want to be precise with our dates I

found this little like bump on the side of my temple and I was just like oh I don't

like this after a couple of weeks of this kind of being there I happen to know a physician and I said hey if you're coming to

Duluth bring your scalpel I may or may not be related to this person they came up

here came up to Duluth and had me lie down here on the living room floor took all

the right precautions and everything,

cut this thing out of my head.

So she stitches me up and puts this bandage over

my like half of my face kind of a situation.

And I was like, okay, hey, so how long do I need to keep this bandage on?

Thinking that like, you know, a couple minutes

until like the blood dried up,

I don't know if I thought it was Wolverine

and that advanced healing factor,

I don't know what it was.

And she said, oh, a couple days, you know.

And I was like, ah, what about like mass tomorrow and she said what do you mean I said why don't want to have this big bandage in my head and she said well get used to it Frankenstein I mean this is part of the I'm I'm filling in the insult I mean she said basically deal with it. It's minor surgery, but you just had surgery on the side of your head and it's like okay fine you know whatever I'll get used to that and then she said to know you can't get it wet for the next four days. And I thought, well, what the heck?
