i’m in pain

This week just gets better and better.

Scott found a small, painless lump on my left shoulderblade, so I made an appointment at the HMO to get it checked out this morning. The dermatology N.P. informed me that it was a harmless sebaceous cyst and she could remove it right then and there. I was grateful.

Until I realized she was doing it without anaesthetic.

So, hi scalpel, hi tweezers, hi other pointy bits scraping away at my flesh. That’s just great. Is it all downhill, health-wise, from 30?
