The Case of the Missing Paragraphs.

The following paragraphs were mysteriously left out of my last blog...
"You have an area of hyperkeratinosis. It is not cancerous, so I don't think you have anything to worry about at this point."
So my immediate follow-up was to ask for removal of the "hyper" area. That's when the dermatologist went on to explain to me that it was an area of irritated scar tissue. To remove it would be replacing scar tissue with.....wait for it....scar tissue. Being a somewhat rational human being, I realized that was an exercise in futility so we decided to get another injection, avoid scratching the spot, and see if we could get it to heal. So far so good. Crisis averted.
You will be relieved to know that to this point, things are going well. The area is healing, but man is it itchy. But I haven't scratched. Not one time! ;-)
My apologies to my faithful readers (all 3 or 4 of you) for leaving out the paragraphs. Call the exerpt a victim of circumstance. A mistake caused by late night blogging, typing them in Word first and then transferring them, or a lack of proofreading (my sincere apologies to my Language Arts-oriented readers on that one.) Either way I didn't mean to leave you in suspense....or did I?!
