MIA, I know.
I haven’t been posting much here lately. Not because I haven’t had much to say, but more that I’ve just been overwhelmed lately and it’s been hard to sit down and formulate a cohesive entry. I’ll post more news when I know more.
Last week I went to the dermatologist to get some meds for my acne; I always break out badly when I’m under stress, especially when it’s hot as hell out like it’s been. While there I had him look at a lump that’s been on my back for a few years. It’s small and I’ve had it looked at a few years pre-katrina, but still.. it’s a lump the side of a small marble.. it’s a little disconcerting. After discussing it for a while, he felt I should have it removed, to be safe. My appointment is October 25th and I’m terrified. I think I’m more afraid of ’surgery’ than I am of flying.
On a more important health note, I’ve recently found out that a good friend of mine is HIV+. While I’ve had (and still have) friends that are positive this is the first time I’ve known someone that wasn’t positive when i first met them. It’s quite a different perspective.
Shit, gotta get back to work. More later.

What is it about surgery that frightens you, Vincent?

Dont’ worry too much about it. I’ve had it done now about 4 or 5 times. They numb the area so you don’t even feel it. Better safe than sorry,you’ll rest easier after it is over.
