Update

Well, had kind of a shock a little while ago.  I was on the phone with our Marketing Department head when my cell phone rang.  I was going to ignore it, but picked it up anyway since the number looked familiar.  So I asked Mktg Head to hang on (didn't put on hold since i had my headset on) and answered the call.  It was my dermo cancer docs office.  They were calling to tell me that instead of just going in and having my stitches removed on Thursday as scheduled (finally!), that I actually have to come in in the morning for surgery because one of the five biopsy tags they took a couple weeks ago came back positive.

So I'm sitting there, trying not to freak out because I have the Marketing Dept on the phone listening to my side of everything.  I calmly schedule the appointment and assure them that I should be able to take the day off work and will see them Thursday morning.  Inside I'm freaking out.  I shouldn't be, I  mean I had the same thing done on my leg in 2008, so it's nothing new, but it's still scary.  I'll be awake for the whole thing and I should be able to drive myself there and home. 

I don't want a scar on my shoulder.  It's bad enough I have a gouge there now.  What are they going to take out?  It's not like I have big beefy shoulders.

I called my dad and he made me feel a little better.  I'm still kinda scared and nervous though.  I guess I just need to suck it up and just get through it.
