I'm not sure if that title is grammatically correct, or if it even makes sense. Do the 'more' and 'less' cancel out each other? I don't know. English majors, help me out here.
Today at 3:45 I will be having more of my ear removed. The lab work from the first removal showed "moderate to severely abnormal" skin cells that extended to the edge of the sample they had, so the pathologist recommended removing more tissue to make sure they have it all.
A few people have asked me if I'm scared about cancer. The answer is no. The dermatologist said it wasn't cancer, but if left alone could become "more troublesome". I don't think doctors like to throw out the word cancer unless it's absolutely certain, which is understandable. The only reason I'm even nervous at all is I have no idea how much tissue they are removing and what my ear will look like when they're done. I'm hoping it won't look like Mike Tyson decided to gnaw on it for a while.
I'm also a little apprehensive because it's my left ear and I always sleep on my left side. Always. Even if I fall asleep on my back or right side I will wake up on my left side. I'm not quite sure how I'll keep myself from rolling over on it aside from waking up to throbbing pain if I do.
Other than that everything is fine. If you're worrying, don't. Seriously. There are way worse things happening to people. And who knows, maybe I'll start a new plastic surgery trend where people put notches in their ears.
