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.
