Here you will recount the initial announcement of the unusual spot on my left thigh. There’s no detail there, but just the announcement. I did promise at some point to go into detail about it, and here it is.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist tomorrow morning to consult about the thing. I don’t know with certainty what it is, but I suspect a basal cell carcinoma, based upon the photos of such things I have seen online. But, I’m no doctor, and I’ve never even played one on TV.
The thing was a largish freckle happily living its life on my thigh, until one night back in early September it turned ugly, and then bled for about a week. I knew back then that it was a serious problem, but I lack medical insurance, and was going through the initial parts of the breakup with Rick.
Anyway, two weeks ago, I was sitting at Chuck and Gordon’s house with them and I showed it to Chuck, an RN. He suggested that I get it looked at immediately because they can grow quickly. Well, Chuck, this is a immediate as I get.
I had to find a doctor that takes cash patients, which the first doctors were able to help me find.
I’ll keep you posted about this. Please pray for me in whatever way your spiritual tradition prescribes. I know that this is probably not terribly serious, but I’m scared about it anyway.
