In the beginning...


This is my first attempt at making a blog.  It will probably be primitive and unusual, but hey, it's mine.  I wanted to try adding a photograph, so I chose a recent item from my iPhoto library.  It's a picture of the mole on my back, which I think is a basal cell carcinoma.

You can see that the lesion has poorly defined borders, and a general red color, with variation throughout the mole.  These tend to be more worrisome findings.

That was a very nice picture.

You have got to start somewhere, but, Yikes!
Get that thing taken care of please!

Okay, so it's been like forever, but I did have that awful thing biopsied, and it turned out to be something similar to acne. And here I was ready to start a caringbridge website -- oh well, all's well that end's well...
