Hi Folks! I'd like you to meet my new friend Sebastian - the sebaceous cyst. He was removed from my forehead yesterday in a short, comical, outpatient procedure. He's about the size of a butter bean, and looks kind of like an oyster cracker in texture and shape. He's non-cancerous, non-threatening, and is keeping mum about why he decided to grow to twice his size in the last few months. I jokingly told the nurse to save him for me, and she did. I didn't quite know what to say when he was presented to me as I left. Should I act gracious, or horrified. I think I pulled it off with a mixture of thankfulness while feeling like a serial killer on the inside at the same time. Nonetheless, I'm stuck with him now. He's either a good luck charm, or grotesque reminder of the randomness and complexity of the human body. Either way, he's just going to sit on my CD case until I figure out what to do with him.
