What Lies Beneath

I have a dermatological appointment coming up that I dread...

Not that the appointments are painful in any way. It's just that I am quite moley (is that a word?). I have a ridiculous amount of moles. And, being blessed with fair skin, I have to constantly monitor all the silly moles for changes. I have already had several removed - one that was deemed "precancerous".

That was not a fun thing to be told, let me assure you!

Particularly the part when they had to re-enter into my scar and take a larger circumference around the former mole, leaving me the most beautiful reminder on my back. I have fun finding swimsuits to cover that!

I dread them potentially finding another "suspicious" mole and digging it out. But, what is worse is not knowing.

I have this weird obsession/fear with hidden illnesses. Those awful, stealthy things that hide and then appear seemingly out of no where. I would love to have one of those full body scans to see if all is well inside. No surprises. Most find this a bit sadistic. I recently discovered that my friend Lauren feels the same way I do. Which makes me a bit more normal. Right? :)
