Goodbye Rodger!

Today I had my surgery consultation appointment to get lovely Rodger, the bump on my shoulder, removed.  The great news is that after Labor Day Weekend, I will be Rodger-free! :)

The highlight of my appointment was when I had absolutely no shame in telling the doctor (who was great btw) that I named the bump “Rodger.”  Even better was when the doctor started referring to the bump as “Rodger” and using “he” or “him” when talking about it. 

For example: 
Kris: “So how large is the incision going to be?”
Doctor: “Well, it will be the entire length of him, so a Rodger-sized incision.”

I suppose this is how doctors talk to 5 year olds, huh?
