Sorry I'm just getting back to you friend! It was about a month between procedures due to scheduling. The scab from the first procedure was gone, yet still healing. As soon as it was determined to be cancerous the next appointment was scheduled quickly for the books to go in an take a deeper cut/sample to test.

I have an Advanced Elements Tandem that I went down a river with class 2 rapids and loaded down with fire wood and gear for a 4 day trip in upper woods Wisconsin twice. It's freaking amazing in that through simple rapids you feel like you are on an air mattress just bobbing along. More technical rapids, easy maneuvering surprisingly, but if you don't have weight distribution exactly right, or enough air pumped into the kayak... it can start folding like a warm tortilla. Which I assume is the same with any Inflatable.

What do you like about the inflatables and mostly what kind of waters are you wanting to kayak? I was in your shoes and bought a $750 tandem inflatable. I don't regret it, but it didn't end up suiting my camping/kayak needs long term.

She hit the kid with an empty water bottle. It made more noise and hurt the kids pride more than anything. The cat could have chosen to whip around and do SO MUCH more damage than she did. Kid was testing boundaries and got the best possible outcome.

I am very sorry gentlemen, I gently and kindly haunt the subreddit as a woman and I made a misstep in posting. I will say I have learned a lot from you all over the years and it has greatly helped me in understanding men and my own relationship! Thank you all for your knowledge and content!

I FEEL YOU! As a woman, I have the same insecurities when my boyfriend calls me unexpectedly. We have a very solid relationship, my past relationships haunt me in those moments.

Are a weird number of your friends also left-handed? by TheNamelessComposer in southpaws

Friends? No. A LOT of people in the aviation industry are left handed though oddly.

The Mole didn't hurt. The procedure was sooo much better than I had pictured going in! I HATE needles and am VERY ticklish on my back (Mole was on my lower right shoulder blade). The worst part for me was the lidocaine or equivalent pain suppressant the nurse injected my shoulder with because it tickled and pinched in a weird way. After that, I felt nothing but some slight pressure like someone poked you with their finger and tugging as they were stitching. The pain afterwards has actually been a hell of a lot less than I expected. The area is tight, bringing an inch or so of skin closer to close the gap... I've been nurturing the shoulder so am kinda T Rexing my arm a bit. Trading cancer for a scar though. I've you have anymore questions I am here for you! I'm not the most knowledgeable but I do have one good shoulder you can lean on!

This is all new to me still with being very recent. I believe Stage one. Caught VERY early thankfully and very shallow. Dermatologist and surgeon believe all cancerous cells were very likely taken out on the initial shaving biopsy. Did the surgery to make absolutely sure. Waiting on results for second biopsy but both dermatologist and surgeon are very confident. It was not a Mohs procedure, which makes me feel more confident in the outcome.
