Cathy,


Glad to hear that the out-patient surgery was as easy as it was; here's hoping that he got it all.

(When I was a youth, I had a sebaceous cyst just in front of my left ear, about 3/4" by 1/4" by 1/8" thick. My family doctor referred me to a dermatologist, IIRC, who removed it via an outpatient procedure. After sufficient novocaine, I didn't feel a thing as he carved away on the side of my face; I could feel the pressure deep in my cheekbone, but it was as if he was sawing on top of an inch-thick piece of balsa wood laying on the side of my face. Very weird.)

On a somewhat related note, have either of you had any issues with your "crap" (or not) health insurance policies being canceled or $ub$tantially modified (i.e., increased cost) in light of "Obamacare"? Just nosy....

No. There has been no indication that my "crap" policy will be cancelled. Probably my benefits will change; I got a new set of cards from them, saying that the change will take place December 1, and that they'll have info up on their website by November 26 about what the changes will be.
