In which I am missing something

I guess I was a pretty boring kid. Never broke a bone, didn't loose any digits or teeth. Well, not until I had to have braces. I still have my appendix and my tonsils. Didn't have any alterations during my c-section.

But at my physical last month, the PA noticed that I have a mole on my shoulder. Not that this is remarkable; I have more of the little buggers than I'd prefer. But this one was was weird - odd shape, not well-defined. And she said that it had to go. So on Friday I went in to the doctor's office.

I suppose my lack of experience with medical things makes me approach these things with trepidation. I took Chris as my support. He's good at it; he's got lots of practice.

After the area was deadened, the PA took a divet out of my arm which contained the mole. It's off to the lab for analysis. I'm left with a 3/8" hole in my arm. I haven't had a lot of pain, and so it's good.

Chris took "before" and "after" pictures. I'll post them eventually.
