Here are the before and after photos of the growth on my shoulder. I wanted to get a photo of the fatty tumor after its removal, but Melanie didn't have the stomach for it.
Was it a ganglion? My little brother had one on his wrist. Someone told him it was a "Bible Bump". I guess people used to smash bumps like that with a heavy book, like a bible. The bump goes away, but it eventually comes back. Of course my little brother smashed his with a bible! Eventually he had to have it surgically removed though. Okay, this was a really dumb story:) Sorry to bore you. Cool scar, Sam.
Actually, the first time I went to the doctor, in Colorado, she told me about "Bible Bumps" and shared a similar story. I did try the Bible Smash, but it didn't work. After a year and a half it doubled in size, so we got it removed.
Gross. Bryce has two fatty tumors on his back that haven't changed in size for years. Weird! I guess sometimes they grow back. I hope that isn't the case for you because those stitches look painful!
When I saw the title of your post I was hoping it was a picture of MELANIE'S bump, but I think that was the point!!
Wow, Sam, that bump is kind of nasty. I'm glad you never showed it to me. I probably would've lost something. :-) (I don't have much of a stomach for things like that.)

That's umm...

I'm glad you got it taken care of.
You have the oddest medical conditions, Sam. I'm glad you're okay.
