Just to keep you all up on how things are going since my face-shifting altercation a couple weeks ago, I thought that I might mention my trip to the doctor today.

You see, there's an odd little mass forming under the skin just beneath my left eye. It's not obstructing my vision, hell it doesn't even affect my outward appearance, but it's creepy, and I can move it around over the surface of my skull by sliding my fingers over my face... Frankly, it's creepy.

So I went to the doc to ask him what was going on. He explained that it was likely the result of a migrating bruise or a pooling of the blood from the face-pounding that has since coagulated and hardened in it's own happy place. While the risk to my health is nill he says, it can be a bit annoying and creepifying (my word), so I can opt to remove it, but it's not covered by Medicare.

It is however likely covered by my company's medical plan.

So I'm going to try to book some time this week or next to get it removed. The procedure apparently involves bombardment by sonic waves which sounds so cool it almost makes the whole thing worth it :-) I'll try to remember post when it's all over.

I'm glad you went to the doctor. Also, bombardment by sonic waves is excellent. :)

Ah geez, the whole incident still makes me incredibly mad!! I'm glad it's nothing too serious and I hope the procedure goes well.
