All clear - part 2

I had my follow up appointment with the oral surgeon today to get back the results of my biopsy and to have my stitches taken out.  After some latin-based words and additional doctor lingo she told me that my results were "completely benign".  Apparently some "foreign material" that she suspected was part of an old filling, had become lodged in my gums.  The tissue tried to grow over the foreign material and when it didn't heal the lesion was formed over it in reaction to the tissue not healing around the filling.

So......no cancer for Lincoln or me!!!!  Lincoln suggested we celebrate tonight by going tanning and having a cigarette.
