The end of an era
Well, I've done it. I have removed the spot on my face that I've had since I was 4 or 5 years old. Took only 35 minutes start to finish. And now my face is forever altered.
I'm guessing my nephew will have the hardest time with this-- at least once every time I see him, he runs up to me, taps my spot with his finger, says "Teyze's Spot" and then goes off about his business.
This is kind of weird, though...
"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky." -- Ranier Maria Rilke

Re: The end of an era
The doctor numbed the spot with a local-- that part burned a little. Then all I felt was the tugging and pressure.
I think this is going to be really weird when I look at my face. Maybe the scar, though, will help it look a little more normal to me?
LOL It's okay, Andrea-- it's not like I'd expect you to spend hours staring at my face. Especially not with my mouth moving most of the time!
It was a beauty mark that grew into a bubble-like thing on my cheek. There's a fancy name for it, but I don't remember it. It is a type of beauty mark that shows up when you're a kid and then gets bigger and lighter in colour as you get older. Because mine had a fantastic blood supply and my father has external lupus and both he and my grandmother had melanoma, they thought it would be safer for me to have it removed.
You can see photos (before and after) on Facebook. And of course, I have photos on Facebook of me with the mark-- all the way back to my childhood.
