finally got the monkey off my back

05 Apr 2012, 19:07
Finally got the All-clear after an agonizing wait of 10 days.
I was told I had a malignant melanoma, and haven't really slept in about 2 weeks,
so today was D-Day and I could barely take a phone call.
Apparently it was a mis-Diagonisis, But I really don't care, as now i know where the saying
life begins at 40, (Well 45 actually).
Believe me i'm going for a load of pints tonight, no back slappin, please.
Best of luck to everyone in the Gravity race, looks deadly but another couple of weeks before this baby heals up and im back on the bike
again YEE FCUKING HA.

Terry, must be an amazing relief that it was not malignant...

...Though that will leave a gr8 scar once its healed! :-)

Jesus that's some stitching! Great it's not what they thought it was, those things are scary...
I agree with Stu, a tattoo over that would be deadly!

Great news to hear you're fine, some scar alright though, I'm off to Crumlin Hospital to see a surgeon next week for the babies neck, I hope he doesn't work there.
