Lump removal

Something that I've been thinking of doing - for a long time, has been getting my facial lump removed.  It's not large, maybe 2-3mm across, but it's entirely noticable.  That is, if I take my glasses off.  If I am wearing my glasses, it's not really noticeable.  I guess I noticed it maybe 15 years ago, but you know how it is, if something grows slowly, you don't always notice it properly.  Then, I bought a digital camera, and started taking photographs of my face (film cameras were too expensive to take such photos).  Guess what I noticed?  My lump.  The reason I started noticing it was because it was on the other side of my face.  Looking in the mirror, it was on one side of my face, now in a photo, it's on the other side, and that change makes a difference.  I planned to have it removed. 

Given that I got a digital camera in 2003, it's taken a while for me to get around to getting it done.  I went to a cosmetic surgeon, and have it removed.  Apparently, it's a mole.  It's white.  The actually removal was simple enough, it was a nice feeling to know that it was gone, although I couldn't look in the mirror for about half a day - I'm queasy about things like that.  A week later, I got the stitches removed.  There is a scar, but that area of my face is good for repairing the skin, and it's expected that the scar will disappear to some degree in a while. 

I am perfectly happy with my decision to have it done.  Sure, it's a lot of money (about $1000), but totally worth it.  Take off my glasses, and you'll immediately notice it.  Now, I need to start working on my posture.
