about a year ago, my doctor asked me about an unusual mole on my shoulder. she got out this special light and said she did not like the look of it. she sent me down to a dermatologist and i waited around for a couple hours. he took a biopsy and i had to wait a week for the results. it was a long wait.
in retrospect! i was pretty freaked out. my family was mad at me for not telling them, but i did not want them to worry.
at least you kept your sense of humor!
