and she hopes he's getting the full course of pain if that's indeed what it is. That may not break her oath since wishing harm isn't necessarily the same as doing harm. She also thinks, as stated above, it may be the result of treatment for some type of skin cancer or a precancerous lesion(s). The unmitigated ass may have played a few too many rounds of golf. That's outside my realm but I do hope it's incredibly uncomfortable.
