Rant #3,587: I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

I go from a high to a low like skydiver jumping from a plane.

Yesterday morning, I went to the dermatologist, and he found a growth in my head that he removed, and it has to go out to the lab for further tests.

I had a similar thing happen several months ago, and that growth was cancerous, so I had to get that fully removed.

What about this time?

Hopefully, it is nothing, but if it is something, it can be taken care of pretty easily ... but it still worries me a bit.

Some people, like me, are very prone to what they call "skin tags," or growths of skin that appear for absolutely no reason.

I have had several of these taken care of over the years, but that one on my head from a few months ago did turn out to be cancerous, so there is some concern.

If I hear back from the doctor in a few days, I am sure I will have to come into the office again and get it removed.

Many skin cancers are treatable if found early, so if this is. In fact, cancerous, I can get it removed quickly and hopefully, that is that.

On Thursday, I have to go to the dentist with my son for a routine checkup and cleaning, and I sure hope thar the dentist doesn't find anything in my, or my son's, mouth.

I want to get off this roller coaster, and simply go into the new year with good health.

If you have your health, you have everything--

And that is what I want.

And I don't think I am being selfish in wanting that.

But until I find out if this is anything, I will just have to wait it out.

Let's just hope it is another one of these silly growths and nothing else.

And again, I ask of you the following:

Wish me luck!
