Under the knife

I did it. I finally just did it. I had the doc excise the tumor in my head. Well, kinda... not really. If you've seen me in the last few years, you've probably noticed the huge bump on my head (as seen here, here, and here). A lot of people thought it was a zit or as Jen's aunt put it, the beginning of one of my horns. (yeah, nice lady...)

On Monday, July 7, I went under the knife and had it removed. The doc initially though it was a lipoma, a benign tumor composed of fatty tissue, but after he cut me open, it looked as if blood vessels had dilated and hardened. It could just be those blood vessels or a cyst, but he couldn't be sure until he sent it to pathology. As you can see from my picture, I now have got nice neat stitches and a permanent scar in lieu of my old bump.
