My Uninvited Guest


So, I have this thing on me called an Actinic Keratosis. It's a pre-cancerous thingy with a bad attitude.

I hate having uninvited foreign stuff on my body. Kinda creepy. My doctor tells me I did invite it though, and just don't remember. It comes from never wearing sunscreen and failing to have enough recent African ancestry. So, half my fault, half great-great-grandpa's fault.

It's like a bad party guest who shows up suddenly, slurps down all the Jell-O shots, and crashes on your living room floor in a pool of bright-green vomit.

Anyhow, I have to go in on Sept 11th and have it removed with a light saber, or some similar but less-exciting tool.

I'm going to make a mental note to stop inviting these things to my parties.
