Mission accomplished (medical edition)

[chanaleh]

Mole excision: complete.
Elapsed time, entry to exit: 24 minutes.

Sensation: still none. As firstfrost noted, modern anesthetics are Very Good (not to mention instantaneous).
Bandage: off in 3 days.
Stitches: out in 9-10 days.
Short-term prognosis: fine.
Biopsy: results to come.

Now to try and put the incision site entirely out of my head until I can remove the bandage on Friday and get a look at it.

Chance of Diesel appearance tonight: good.
Chance of weekend update before then: excellent.
Chance of contra dancing tonight after that: not so good. :-)

I'm so glad your mole excision seems to have gone better than mine! :)

Good to know that modern medicine can be competent at times.

If you need help with the inspection part later... ;-)

Great. You and Jon can compare stitches. At least yours were intentional. =)

Glad it went smoothly. I wish you a quick refu'ah sh'leimah!

Good deal. Fast operations good.

Glad to hear it went well.

And yeah, dancing is probably out for a bit.

Glad it went well and there's no pain. And darn I wish that show weren't tonight. Otherwise I'd snag one of those tickets for Kathy (yes, she is "18+" now).

What she said...

[mattblum.livejournal.com]

Yay for it going well, and for good anaesthetics!

You've just given me an idea. When I had one excised and biopsied, I requested
the slide back. I still have it, and now have the ability to take photomicrographs.
So I should post pics! If you can talk the path lab out of your slide, I'll make pix
of that too!

Hee! I can't decide if this is cool or creepy. It can be both, I guess. :-)

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Whew! Glad it went smoothly, hope the healing is uneventful.

Good to hear it went well. You may get some pulling sensations at the beginning, and some itching later, but it's all really minor.

Mine is still clearly visible some months later, but it seems to be okay otherwise.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

I never thought of that when I had mine!
