Things I Cannot See

Time once more for the annual pelt survey with the dermatologist.  Inward sigh.

All went reasonably well.  There were only two questionable skin activities about which Herself had concerns; the first was handled with a wee bit of liquid nitrogen, and the second was addressed with a (slightly painful) injection that might require a second treatment in a few weeks, but should resolve in due course.  Then, she'll be all set -- barring any new oddities -- for another year.

It's an awkward situation, to be so carefully scrutinized by a virtual stranger, yet the nurse practitioner who conducts the exams makes it tolerable with her professional and soothing demeanor.  Herself is rather a freckly person, so the nurse checks all the spots carefully:  "This looks fine... these are all the same, which is good... anything different? No? Good...."  Herself was vaguely amused when the nurse pointed out that there are three freckles in a row on Herself's left buttock:  "Like a constellation...."  Herself hadn't known that.  (After all, it's a tad difficult to observe one's own posterior.)  Perhaps Herself shall get out the hand mirror and take a peek later.  Orion's Belt? Or part of Ursa Major? We shall see.

These constellations found here: http://transientexpression.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Orion-+-Ursa-Major.jpg. And possibly on Herself's behind.
