I know what you really want to know

So I had two biopsies this week. Really they are more of scrapings when it's skin biopsies, just having moles removed, but for some reason I've been really anxious about it. Here's one of the gruesome post- procedure sites:

Gruesome post-biopsy site

When I was 19 and had HPV, I had my first "cancer test" and had a cervical biopsy. The doctor who did that was quite unfriendly about it, and fairly clear about why. That one hurt a lot and bled a lot. (It came back benign.) Since then I've had lots of the screening tests- my breasts have been smooshed paper-thin when I complained of painful lumps. I've had the trans-vaginal sonogram multiple times. I've had techs who allowed me to insert the probe and some who did it themselves. Either way felt like a violation and I can't imagine having to have that done following a traumatic event.

So why the heck am I all worked up about this? This was the least invasive and quickest of any procedure I've had in my recent memory. 

I think that, after much thought, I'm more worried this time because if I need to follow up with anything, I'm in trouble. I don't have insurance anymore in 4 days. I won't even know by then if it's benign or not. And that's lame, you know? I shouldn't have to worry about that. Not me, as in just me- "Me" as in the global me, as in we- we should not have to worry about what we would do if it turned out we needed more care than our usual visits to the family doctor. And I shouldn't have to sell my soul to get it. That's just salt in the wound.

But I know what you really want to know.

How do I keep my arms so well toned?

Well, I have a Wavemaster cardio bag, a decent pair of gloves, and at least an hour of music on a Spotify playlist. I put on my playlist and I punch the bag and dance. I don't have routines, I don't have any sort of trainer, I don't go to a gym, I don't watch a DVD. I listen to loud music, punch a bag, and dance for an hour. I highly recommend it.
