Scarred

I must take a slight break here and back track a few days. Some of the more keen observers amongst you may have noticed a white bandage on Jenna's pinky in several pictures.

And while it is quite attractive in its own right, she is not wearing it as some sort of new fashion trend.

For quite a while she's had a mole on her left pinky. Over the past several months, it grew in size and changed in color, so we had it biopsied (or "bibopsy" as Aunt Thea says in My Big Fat Greek Wedding...we love that movie. Click here for the scene) and while it isn't malignant, it is a type of melanoma that can turn malignant in adulthood. Unlike Aunt Thea, there was no twin inside. But still, it had to be removed.

I'll warn you now, I'm about to post pictures of the former mole, which is now a line of five stitches.

It's not beautiful. If you're squeamish, leave the blog now.

I mean it. This is your final warning.

Okay, here goes.
She's ready for her close-up.
The good news is, it's gone and it will never be a problem. And she's gonna have a totally wicked scar to show off for quite some time.

Sweet. Have some spanikopita!
