        Both my punch biopsy and my shave biopsy were back within 4 days of collection.

            And yeah, I'd be pissed as hell.

              Hey Mike…

              No, I don't mind the co-pays.  I'd rather do the co-pay than deal with another surgery.  And, my derm is telling me that the University of Iowa is setting up a melanoma clinic, so having a centralized location for all of this care will be good.

                That was my next option!  Think insurance will cover a single Vulcan ear?

                  Yeah, sleeping is interesting, because that side used to be my "good side".  On the other side, my left, I had a manipulation for frozen shoulder 2 years ago, and I sometimes still have a little pain.  I've found a way to sleep on my stomach, though, so that my ear doesn't touch the pillow.

                    Thanks.  I put a message in to the surgeon.  I do see her again this coming Friday to get my stitches out and discuss the results.
