So, they just punched a divot in my upper arm...

[randomness]

...and they'll let me know what the biopsy says in a week or so. Meanwhile, I have some black nylon thread sticking out of me.

The whole experience was kind of a pain, particularly as the dermatologist was brusque and offhand, the assistant was cold, and the administrative staff looked like they clearly felt I wasn't pretty or vain enough to grace their office.

I did notice that all the staff were young, female, thin, and distant, and that botox info featured prominently in the examining room. I guess maybe they mostly deal with cosmetic surgery?

Hmmm. Perhaps I should go find another dermatologist. Any pointers?

Leon--Here's to it being a big nothing. As someone who's had little divots taken out of him (ie, in my head), I'd like to give a shout out to doctors who can stitch well. Either way, you'll have a cool scar, of which you can tell many lies about: "I got it in a barroom brawl when someone pulled a knife!"

Oh, I'm pretty confident it'll be a big nothing. I wish the thing was smoother, though; I already have a cool scar on my chin.

I'm glad that you're being aggressive about checking yourself out. But I have a feeling that you'll be cool. You better be cool, or I'll come out there and kick your ass, mister!

Last one was cool, most likely this one will be too. If not, well, there will be lots more to talk about.

And hey, it'll be good to see you. :)
