Melanoma and Me

A magical journey through a world of scalpels, stitches, radiation bombardment, gnomes, and hopefully hershey's kisses. Do you hear me? Hersheys. Kisses.

Um, well I spoke too soon

And just like that it goes back to being weird, gay shit.

I know you're sitting there saying, "Kyle, why are you making fun of gayness?"

Well I say to you, this scene is totally gay.

So there's this dude in a silk prince outfit and cape and crown. And there's this other dude in leopard skin underwear tied up and kneeling on the floor. The prince dude is slapping the other guy on the cheeks with the flat of a sword.

Wait! he just cut the dude's head off, and a nazi came in and yelled at him?!? What the fuck kind of movie is this? Bring back the hot lesbians, less gay dudes and nazis.

Whoa!!! never mind

Hot lesbians. This movie has gone from suck, to awesomeness in the span of one sweet, sweet, scene dissolve. Way to go hippie bastards, take a shower and you'll be ok in my book!

Where did I go wrong in life?

So I turn on my tv, and my usually trusty and reliable tivo has decided to record some crazy ass 1970's movie from the independent film channel. This thing is seriously F'ed up. Why has my tivo decided to hate me? why? I mean I love it so much, I only tell it to record totally kick ass shows, and it goes and pulls this?

And this leads to another question. What the fuck were you old people thinking to make this kind of crap in 1970?

Just in case you're curious, the movie is called, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"

The latest

Good call Shae,

Ok, so here's the latest.

-Got the biopsies back from the first removals, and they came back pre-cancerous and atypical. Which is great. Got those suckers out in time.

-On Monday had the first set of stitches out and the next two areas excised. I'll find out about the next two sets of biopsies in a week or so.

-Hopefully the second verse is the same as the first.

Today

So I got cut today. It kind of hurts, but that's to be expected. We'll see what the biopsies say in a few days.

I got to see the pieces they cut out floating in some alcohol in a little jar. I was surprised at how big the are was. About as wide around as a quarter and pretty deep. I had no idea that skin was that deep. Kind of like if you took a big grape and cut it in half. 11 and 13 stitches. Round two is Monday the 21st.
