jeepers.
i go in, and its deeply crowded. we wait for like, half an hour.
for anyone who's curious as to why i'm in the doctors office, about three weeks ago, i notice a cyst on my right wrist. okay. thats weird. and it starts to get really uncomfortable and growing. i go to my regular doctor. she says its a ganglion cyst and it can be removed, but she can't do it. she refers me to have bloodwork done, and to a surgeon. i go get poked with a needle, and two weeks later (today) i'm in the surgeons office.
so i get called back there. this nurse comes in and starts talking to us, and she pulls this horse needle out of the cabinate, and starts filling it with what had to be pints and pints of a curious clear liquid. the more medication that goes into that needle, the more i blanch out.:sick: this needle could've went through my arm and came out the other side. and i was just positive she was gonna poke me with it. then she turns around and walks out of the room into the room across the hall. i breathe a sigh of relief and start praying that she doesn't come back.
then the surgeon comes in. he takes one look at my hand and says that its huge for someone my age and i've had it for years. what? yeah. weird. so he starts feeling my other wrist. i don't have one there, which is good.
he then proceeds to tell me that the cyst is sitting on top of the most important artery, not vein, artery, in my arm. :faint: so he can't do this surgery in his office. he told me that we're scheduling for thursday and it has to be at the hospital. they're knocking me like all the way out and everything.
oh, and even though i had bloodwork done a week or so ago, i have to have it done again. cause they can't transfer the tests. :faint:
it just seems like a big to-do over a marble sized cyst.
and i just want this to be over with. my wrist is always uncomfortable, but if i use it, it begins to hurt.
oh, and the best part, i get to be splinted for two weeks. yay. :headache:
thanks for letting me vent.
