Ouch.

My aunt had melanoma, and my mother keeps getting pre-cancerous spots on her face from years of gardening outdoors, so I'm careful about things like moles. Today I had one on the left side of face removed. It's currently under a Bandaid (I have no guilt about referring to bandages of this sort by their non-generic term, since I only ever use Bandaid brand), and the local anesthetic has only just started to wear off, but I'm not looking forward to a scar in the middle of my face. It will fade eventually, but still. The middle of my face.

I think ice cream is called for. And wine.

There is something inherently wrong with the combination of "Don't take the bandage off for 24 hours" and said bandage being right on the crease of one's cheek, where one's face moves to talk, eat, etc. Said bandage came off on its own, having manfully managed a good three hours. Now there is a new bandage, covering a heavy layer of Neosporin ointment, which if it hadn't been invented I'd have died of some sort of hideous infection when I was tiny, I'm sure. The new bandage seems to be holding its own for now. We'll see what happens after more ice cream.
