Unmitigated Good News
And what a nice change that is.
Last Tuesday, I had a suspicious mole removed. To be honest, I’ve always been suspicious of that mole, for as long as I can remember. It looked like a mole that was up to something, or at the very least, desperately wanted to be up to something. Recently, it started to change shape and texture ever so slightly. I was happy to finally have an excuse to have the damed thing removed so I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore. As it happened, I needed a followup visit for my weight problem, so I decided to only make one copayment and address both problems in one visit.
The good news is that my weight is no longer in freefall; I was down a little bit from my last weigh-in, but no more than could be accounted for by water weight. I passed my take home test, as expected, which means that my digestive system problem is most likely IBS and certainly not something malignant.
The better news is that my suspicious mole came up benign in laboratory tests. I think that’s a generous description, given the amount of worry I’ve expended on it, but I’m ever so pleased to know that there’s definitely nothing more be concerned about.
