Well I officially had my cyst removed yesterday. (yeah I know the topic is gross- let’s share!)
I went to my Dr’s office and was all nervousy. I get into the exam room and the nurse was very nice and I told her I was nervous so she told me that she had just had the surgery not that long ago so it wasn’t that bad. She said the only part that really hurt was the shot to numb you. She also said that she hated cyst surgeries and that they were gross. (lol..thanks for the encouragement) So then Dr. Maxwell came in and we got things underway. She shot me up with numbing stuff which actually was not that painful- which was awesome- because if that was the worst part then I was already through the woods.
Then I stopped watching and I’m going to describe what I THINK was happening even though I was numb this is what it felt like…
Dr. Maxwell uses a razor to cut the world’s biggest hole in my arm..
-Then she got all up in the large hole and started digging around…
-Then she used these medical scissors to cut something… Which I can only imagine were vital tendons and veins- and she was poking around in there..
-Then she started pulling stuff out- and I swear to you- I got to see a few pieces of it when it was all over- it looked like this!
I was so sure it would look like this grape stomp..
But it didn’t- she described it as kinda dried up cottage cheese- lol nasty!
So then I got my ONE stitch and was on my way. SO much easier than I thought it would be and everyone at First Care Family Medicine did a great job! So mega thanks to them and thanks to my cyst for leaving my life as quickly as it came in.
So now I just can’t get my arm wet for 7-10 days…lol so for a whole week I have to shower with Saran-Wrap on my arm- like this…
that might not work as well with the showering part of it all…how will my body get clean?
SO- yes it was quite the experience. Also- I was telling the Dr and Nurse about the Q Wake Up Crew apologizing to people they were mean to and they started to tell stories about all the people they were mean to when they were little- it was hilarious. It’s funny when your Dr’s become real people too. Not that they aren’t real people but that they are usually such morally upstanding citizens that when they do something not-nice it’s hilarious! 
I’m going to enjoy my weekend- Brittany Gray is taking me to Dino World for my birthday! I’m going to dig one of those suckers up!!! JEALOUS!??
Thought so.
Have a great weekend!
