My surgery
Yes, I did have surgery yesterday.No, I hadn’t mentioned it on here beforehand. A complete heart, lung, kidney, spleen, spine and brain transplant is nothing to be taken lightly. Fortunately, they were able to do it arthroscopically and so I only have three stitches on my bicep.
Ok, everything except the three stitches on my bicep is a lie.
I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my arm. Nothing major. I’ve had them removed from my scalp before, but this was the first time I was able to watch the doctor do it.What’s funny is that we inadvertently scheduled Kaitie to have the same thing removed from her scalp at almost the same time in a different doctor’s office. She had four taken out (she’s an overachiever). We have all five of the cysts at home in jars. I guess we’ll start a collection.
Then in the evening we had to pick Tara up at the airport in Philly. Quite a busy day!

Hey, my hubby gets those. He’s got like seven on his head. That’s after removing one himself and two others by a doctor. Runs in the family.

Haha, I always joke he’d be a phrenologist’s dream…

My dad has gotten them too, and I think some of my siblings as well. One doctor told me that they’re not necessarily hereditary, but they do run in families.
He took one out himself? Cool. That did cross my mind. After seeing it done, it doesn’t seem too hard.
Heh, yeah but the blood was pretty insane. Even at the doctor’s office they said he lost so much they were considering a blood transfusion! I guess he’s got a lot of blood in his head?? It was kinda weird. When he did it himself it was a little one near his forehead, so it was close to the surface. The last one they took out was probably the biggest and it was larger than a marble!
Sounds tiny, but when you have it under the skin on your head, that’s not so small!
Glad everything went well.
yeah, my wife has ‘em. Not sure I would want to watch though…
I had one behind my ear once….but, they just drained it and that was that!
You are SUCH a dag .. cute big bro dag .. but still .. A DAG!
Oh . .and i WOULD rip through you for not letting us know so we could be praying .. but, I have to go get ready for church now .. and as you and I both know .. a person REALLY has to work on being holy just before church … winks!

I have no idea what a “dag” is. You’re speaking Australian again.
