In the middle of demonstrating an exercise, Inui-sensei nearly lost his super baggy sweatpants. He hiked them up pretty fast, but everyone was laughing, and he seemed a bit embarrassed as he assured us, "Daijoubu, daijoubu!"

He seems to think that I'm three inches taller than I actually am, or that I should be three inches taller; yet again he tried to drag my ribcage up to where it can't go without me becoming airborne.

On the bright side, I didn't suck quite so much at the small jumps! It also kind of helped that a whole bunch of lower-level people showed up to today's class. So instead of being at the very bottom of the pack, skills-wise, I was at least at the top of the bottom, and looked good in comparison to some. XD

I spent an interesting morning at the hospital, yesterday. Got sent around to various places before everything was in order (initially it was my fault for going into the wrong building) and I finally got to see the dermatologist who examined the mole on my back, said it's most likely harmless, but I might as well get rid of it. So I'll be going back next week for that.

Hopefully the recovery won't take too long. When I had the birthmark taken off my knee, when I was 11, I had seven stitches, taken out at two different times (first 4, then the last 3), and since it was my knee, it was a few days before I could bend it properly, since the skin needed to stretch, and quite a while before it wasn't painful to the touch. Since this one is in the middle of my back, therefore not an articulation, I suppose it will be different. I've been told to take no baths, only showers, for the week following the procedure, and I guess ballet will be out for the same amount of time.

I wonder how big the scar will be? If the mole is 9mm wide, and they need to cut a slit around it, it'll be maybe twice as long, at most? Maybe I'll have a lizard on my back to match the one on my knee.

With any luck, the anasthesia will be effective and I won't pass out on the operating table the way I did 17 years ago. ^_^;

And now, I bid you good night.

I had a mole removed from my back a while ago. Well, I say 'removed'. It was really simpled, just had a local anaesthetic in the area and it was essentially scraped off (...that sounds really gross :/). But when it healed there was still a mole there, go figure. It's flat now, at least, and there's nothing wrong with it, so *shrugs*

But yes, keep water off it, and it's best to put a guaze pad or something over it so your clothes don't rub. Yours sounds a lot more complicated than mine, so it may take longer to heal?

The doctor say the stitches will be taken out a week later, and I'm expecting a month or two before it's not too sensitive anymore. At least it's in a spot where there should be too much rubbing, as it's nowhere a strap of any kind would go.
