Dr. Visit Minor Surgery

I visited my local doc today to have a little "knot" under my skin taken off.   Yes, minor....




Our doctor's office is pretty old-fashioned....they do it all right there in the office.  Setting bones, minor surgery along with the normal physicals and such.  Pretty cool these days since most would send you to a specialist. 

Almost painless - just two stitches that he told me to take out myself in 10 days.  He was puzzled a bit about what the growth was, but said it didn't look harmful (read cancerous).  He'll send it off to pathology and we'll know in a week or so.  No pain yet....but I'm sure the novocaine is still working!

YOUCH!...I always thought you got that lump from being kicked by a horse or something...glad for you that it's gone...and so nice that your doc is a one stop shop...

Love,

hey T - yeah, the "big" muscular lump i got when i was about 16 riding horses on the Biltmore Estate is still there....no change to that. this "small" lump was imbeded in the "big" lump if that makes sense. the doc didn't think they were related since it's been so long ago that i got the other injury.

love, k
