My visit with the bone man
This morning I went to see the doctor for an annual physical. Three things are worth mentioning:
First, I’m getting fat. After going my entire undergraduate career with my weight fluctuating somewhere between 112-117, I now weigh 128. Feel free to shout FATTY FATTY TWO-BY-FOUR, CAN’T FIT THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOOR whenever I enter a room.
Second, I’m probably gonna die soon. But seriously, I might have cancer. I have a mole on my back that they’re pretty concerned about, so I’m coming in on Monday to have them remove it. When I called to make the appointment, I asked if I could come in costume since it will be on Halloween. The receptionist laughed and said I could. I think I’ll go as the grim reaper.
Third, I do silly things sometimes. For example, when I got there, I went to the window to check in and just started up with friendly banter. It took the receptionist a few seconds to realize that I was standing there, and then she opened the window which I hadn’t noticed was there and was closed. Everyone in the waiting room laughed. Sick people are assholes.
Today I’m going to the Lewis-Clark State College tournament in Idaho (in an old-person bus with big windows, which I get to drive and in which the team will be watching “Listen to Me” during the eight hour trip!), so I probably won’t be updating until early next week. Stay tuned, though, because I’ve got a few more “that would rock” entries.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, that is SO funny! I really hope that that mole comes off without any incidents though :) And, um, I weigh 127, and am trying to get back to 118. Haven't been that since my freshman year... BLAST!

Oh man, no worries- I often feel like I'm going to die after a few visits to the doctor. PS- you are so light! I am around 120 and I'm a girl- so perhaps you're ganing muscle.
Gotta watch out for those sickies

128?! You realize that the normal, healthy weight for someone our age and height is 155? As for the mole, please tell me more. I will praying for an excision and biopsy without incident. Remember, when concerned with a mole, check its ABCD's: Assymetry, Border, Color, and Diameter. (Its likely that your biopsy will be read in the room next door to my office.)

Not from here. From here.

No worries, Tom. I went through the exact same thing with a couple moles 2 years ago. I'm sure it will be fine. Today, I'm free and clear.
AND, I went through high school wishing I could go back to being 128—which is what I was in middle school. So, fatty fatty that. Fatty.

Uhh... I only wish I could weigh under 130. You guys suck ;o)
Good thing they noticed that mole early! Early detection is so important - good luck with the removal (I had one removed on my chest - its weird feeling).
