A-OK

I got news earlier this week that the thing that was removed from my back/shoulder was benign. Praise God! This was great news! However, it was tempered by the term the doctor used to describe the growth...barnacle (for those who prefer the sophistic medical version...seborrheic keratosis). Now, when I hear the word "barnacle", I think of old ships that have been at sea a long time. I feel like that ship that went to sea over 46 years ago! Better to cling to the good news that I do NOT have a malignant growth.
