Not a ganglion!

Went to get the stitches out today and saw my doctor who said it was just as well they didn't try draining it 9or hitting it, I guess ;-)) because when he opened it up he didn't find a ganglion but a mass of honeycombed blood vessels and he'd never seen anything like it. He sent it off for analysis and so he tapped the computer and we both saw the results; Masson's hemangioma, which is 'an unusual benign, non-neoplastic, vascular lesion'.

He said, hmm, haven't seen one of those since med school and told me the numbness was stretched nerves and should wear off and all looked fine. Still got a huge scar but it's flattened out now the stitches are gone and I guess it will fade in time.

HIT IT WITH THE BAT!

THEY HAVE BEEN SAVED BY THE POWER OF THE BOOKSHELF!

NOT A ZOMBIE SHARK!

HIT IT WITH THE BAT! HIT IT!

They are verbatim commentaries on Sharknado currently airing on Space and being watched with wide-eyed glee by my family. I left the room because my BRAINS WERE MELTING FROM THE STUPID AND LEAKING THROUGH MY EARS.

Sharks. In LA. In a tornado. In people's swimming pools then suddenly in their front halls. Men standing at the bottom of the stairs with a shark approaching, holding out their hand imploringly for help instead of OH, I DON'T KNOW, RUNNING UP THE STAIRS?!!!

AAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!
