Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Naked Truth. Trisha Hershberger here. We’re
back!
I know we took two weeks off and thank you guys for your patience. I got home from E3
last
Tuesday night at about 10/10:30pm and was just out of my mind exhausted and literally
fell
asleep on the couch. And then I was like yeah it’s just not going to happen before tomorrow
morning. So the good news about that is it gave you guys in the Naked Army an extra week
to
make your responses and so we have a lot of responses from last week about fans becoming
friends etc and the responses were from David Christopher El Poyo Colin Julia Chris Nerwen
Kush Kavaja Ryan Michael Nathan Prescott & Kristen Dominic Lawrence Pat Sky and Richard.
So almost the entire Naked Army showed up in full force this time. Yay. If you want
to check out
their Naked Army Vlogs or their Naked Truth Vlogs you can do that by clicking the link
in the
description below. So there was no question in particular that prompted this week’s
topic. This
was more of a discussion I was having with a friend and kind of a life update thing.
So I don’t
know if those of you who watch these vlogs frequently have ever noticed but I notice
them I
notice it because I’m looking at it but I got a lump. Right here on this side of my
face. I named it
Larry. Larry has been there for I don’t know five years and I always thought it had
something to
do with my jaw clicking because I do have TMJ so my jaw pops sometimes and I thought
it had
to do with that but I was being a coward and not going to the doctor about it ever because
I was
like oh I don’t like going to the doctor. But just recently I had a few makeup artists
now that I do
shows that have makeup artists so exciting. Still so exciting. Say hey what is that? You
should
get that checked out. So I did. I went to the doctor and many doctors. A doctor who
referred me
to another doctor who referred me to another doctor and long story short it is not my jaw
it is
some type of abnormality that needs to be checked out and so I am having it checked
out. I’m
going to have a biopsy tomorrow which I hope that there is no down time for the biopsy
because
I have VidCon on Friday. I hope I will see a lot of you there. So if I have a big puffy
face or
something at VidCon then that’s totally why. But yeah so the biopsy they’re doing
tomorrow is a
small one and that will find out if I either need little surgery or big surgery to get
it removed so
keep your fingers crossed for me that it’s little surgery is the answer and not big surgery.
The
doctor said he doesn’t think that it’s cancerous which is good news but they’re
never certain
until they biopsy but I’m trying to be pretty optimistic about it. I had a lump in my boob
taken out
last yearish maybe a year and a half agoish. Biopsied and everything and that turned out
to be
okay. So you know I’m trying to think like hey this could be just like another situation
like that.
Not a big deal. And yeah so I guess I’m telling you guys this for a few reasons. I’m
telling you
this because of a conversation I had with my friend who also struggles with some wonky
medical stuff and she was like you know why does this happen to us? And I thought about
it and
I thought you know I’m pretty sure that both physical and mental health issues happen
to a lot of
us. A lot more than are talking about it. I think it’s because there’s a stigma
of people not
wanting to appear weak and again that’s whether it’s physical health or mental health.
Mental
health could also be physical health but anyway. I’m sure I’m not using the right terms.
But I
think a lot more people are going through it than talk about it and I think the more
that we kind of
realize that’s it’s a normal thing the less scared we be. I mean I do the same thing
everyone
else does where I go on WebMD and go down that rabbit hole and you know end up thinking
I
have everything in the world wrong with me because I went on the internet. Don’t don’t
do that.
But yeah so I just I wanted to share this with you guys to say A if you are dealing
with anything
you’re not alone we all have weird stuff and B I wanted to share it incase I do end
up needing to
take some down time incase it does end up being big surgery or something else I’m
going to
need to go in a lot for I wanted to let everyone know and just kind of give an update on my
life
because this whole vlog series is about being real and talking about what this issues are
so
hopefully Larry will not be there much longer. And I don’t know how long that process is
going to
take or whatever but if it does end up being something serious I will of course let everyone
know. So yeah my question to you guys this week is if you have or had any kind of weird
or just
serious medical issues that you kind of felt like you were alone in dealing with and you
are
comfortable talking about it then I mean put it out there. Maybe someone else will say
hey you
know I struggle with the same thing and this helps me or maybe the way that you dealt with
it
will help somebody else. It also might just feel good to get it off your chest and talk
about it a
little bit. I’ve been worried about this guy for I don’t know probably a month now
and haven’t
really talked about it with anyone other than my parents and Nate so it’s kind of nice
to talk
about it with everybody. So for those of you who will be a VidCon this Friday I’m going
to Tweet
out a graphic saying when and where I’m going to be all day and hope that I get to
see you.
That would be awesome and yeah I can’t I want to keep talking to you but I can’t
think of
anything else that I have to say so for right now I’m going to say goodbye and then I
will
continue the discussion in the comments section. Alright guys have a great week and I’ll
talk to
you soon. Bye.
