Surgery went well – I love my doc and my hospital. Just about everyone in dermatology is female, really good vibes there. A couple of points I wanted to write down before I forget:
- In the States a doctor says, “This shot might sting a little bit” to get you ready. There’s usually a “might”, “maybe”, “could” or other hedge. Here in Japan my doctor said, “This is going to hurt. Prepare yourself for it.” It did and I did.
- When all was said and done the nurse held up a tiny bottle of liquid with a thing in it. “It’s your mole! Wanna look?” It’s thicker than I expected. I paled. “Guess not,” she replied.
- I learned a new word I love – 消毒 (しょうどく、shoudoku). Literally erase-poison… disinfectant. So. Cool. I love this language.
Tomorrow I go back so the doc, Fujida-sensei, can make sure it’s healing well and show me how to change the dressing. It’s a 9 am appointment so I’m planning on treating myself to a breakfast out afterwards. Tea and pastries, I’m thinking.
