So, I've had a Week.
Warning - icky medical stuff follows..

Don't say I didn't warn you.
So, this week's excitement was a little outpatient procedure to get a lump removed.
Good news, the pathology report is already back and it's negative for malignancy. So, no worries there.
Bad news, when they cut a piece off you, it tends to bleed. The doc had this electric cauterizer gizmo to seal the wound. Unfortunately, this particular lump had "very good blood flow" ... which means, it just kept bleeding. So, doc had to hit it a couple of times. Eventually, the heat pushed past the anesthetic and I yelped. This was also the point where I also noticed the billowing cloud of grey smoke rising from... well, me! We gave up on the gizmo at the point but fortunately the blood flow was down to Band-Aid-able.
Later that day, I had a craving for a flame grilled hamburger... 'cause of the smell of charred meat (or charred me as it where).
Anyway, the rest of the week has been spent recovering from that little adventure. The actual hole/burn is healing very nicely. Hard noticeable anymore, unless I bump it.
I'm hoping next week is a little less exciting.
Onward
(Edit: Oops. Looks like I got the date wrong. I said it was a Week...)
