He thinks it’s a “lipoma” and he told me we could either leave it or have it surgically removed. I opted for the latter, although it means I will have a scar smack dab in the middle of my back and the area would be sun-sensitive for an estimated period of six months.
p.s. I hate googling for this kind of medical info. I’m not sure if I should, or if I shouldn’t.
I’m going in Thursday morning. Ugh.
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
