Snitches get stitches ...

An A4 sheet of paper is put in front of me. On the page are three outlines of the human body. The most left outline has a couple of dots within the outline, let's say 5% of the body is filled with black dots. The middle has more dots, closer to 10-20%. The third on the right is littered with small black dots, 40-50. "So, if you had to say how many moles you have, which of these three do you more closely resemble?". I point at the right hand side diagram. "Oh, you're considered very moley, you should be checking your moles yearly".

It's an interesting process to have somebody look at every mole on your body. Brushing through the hair line. Looking under nails, at your lips, at your toes, are the soles of your feet. Turns out I have a mole on my lip and a mole on the front of one of my toes. We also found a mole that isn't quite like the others. They decided to cut this sucker out for further biopsy. Turns out it was of no concern.


A little uncomfortable sleeping, and you have to keep it dry and clean, that's a bit annoying. Oh, and you can't do yoga else, this the stitches may pop out.
