Getting Things Yanked From My Neck, Pts. II & III

My previous appearance at a plastic surgeon to excise a cyst from the right side of my neck ended with me setting up a follow-up appointment in order to remove an adjacent mole. I'd had this mole since birth, and when the surgeon heard of this, he told me that such things have a small but significant chance of developing into melanoma.

 

Earlier in the week, I went over there and the operation was almost entirely the same as what I'd experienced before: some sharp pain during the numbing process and then a totally painless procedure. Everything went well until that night, when it began bleeding more heavily.

 

I will spare everyone the more gory details of things, but the following morning I had more stitches inserted and the local anesthesia didn't work in the slightest bit. That wasn't fun.

 

Still haven't been able to move my neck much at all, which made a dental appointment a little more long-winded than usual.

Mole since birth... chance of developing into melanoma...

 

So my biggest take away from this is my dozen or so super old moles are killing me. Awesome!

 

(Also that sounds rather unpleasant and I hope you recover quickly.)

I mean, yeah, I have a dozen more since-birth moles myself. The difference is that I can easily see the rest of them in case they start looking abnormal, whereas it was nearly impossible to see the one on my neck due to its odd placement.

Cue the invention of mirrors.

Cue the aforementioned odd placement of my former mole.

More mirrors. I have several small square mirrors, and would be glad to give you one at BricksUniverse If I go there.

Unless plans change, I won't be there—I'll be playing a ton of games in my last high school baseball season (over 40 games in 60 days). At most, I'd only be able to be there for a day, and even that's pushing it. :P

Not for the sake of a small mirror. All I would need to do is appropriate one of my mom's makeup mirrors should I need to inspect the side of my neck with a little more convenience.
