The blood blister-like growth on my finger that started at the beginning of my pregnancy grew into a huge infected cyst that had to be surgically removed. Most of you, unfortunately, had to see that ugly growth. But now it is gone!
The timing of the surgery was a surprise. I happened to visit the doctor on a day when there was a last-minute cancellation in the OR. I didn’t realize it would be such a production. One minute I was sitting comfortably in the doctor’s office getting a consult and the next I was getting moved to an operating room where my doctor and I were being scrubbed for surgery. I couldn’t bring myself to watch, but I was forced to hear the 20-minutes of scraping and cutting. Yuck!
They left the wound open because of my recent staph infection, so I go back tomorrow to have the dressing changed. Double yuck!
The pain is crazy wicked, as breastfeeding prevents me from taking anything more than some Tylenol. But it will be so worth it when I can play with Luigi with two hands and without the fear of giving him staph.
