So ( not that this is major news to anyone but me  () I have posted in the past that I sometimes get very painful leg infections. The affected area can swell up to the size of a baseball and it's in a very bad part of the leg, if you know what I mean. Right now, it's been acting up again, but it's comparatively small because it's been suppressed by a month of antibiotics. Antibiotics will not cure it, though. Today, I had an appointment with the general surgeon and his P.A. They were very helpful, and, since I have been suffering with the third infection in as many years, and I didn't want to wait to be scheduled for "a plastic surgery suite " ( ! ), they plopped me on this little table, and the good surgeon excised a lump (cyst ) about 3 cm by 2 cm by 2 cm. That is a sizable cyst. It hurts, but I am so happy to have it out, and I am resting at home until Monday. ( It's hard to sit down on the area ). Such a relief. I had no idea that it was that big, even in its "obedient" state. My good new geriatrics doctor had gotten the appointment moved up by six weeks. Six weeks. I'm so glad that everything worked out. The surgeon nicely did the procedure on the fly with 26 more patients to see. I thanked him very much and he said that we have to help our coders.  |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I'm sure it's good to have that nasty out of there, Nazgul! I hope the soreness lets up quickly.  |

I'm glad you are doing well! I am a little aggravated that the appointment to have my tooth extracted was about 9 days after my initial appointment. She did offer me Monday (instead of Wednesday), which would have been a week. I am scheduled for a workshop the school is sponsoring. I actually called my dentist (not the oral surgeon) to see if he would prescribe more antibiotics. There is definitely an infection, and I can't imagine that it would hurt less in 9 days. So congrats on having connections or whatever. I hope you are feeling better soon. |

Glad you are doing better. So the cyst is removed and it won't come back?
