Bad Cyst. Baaaad Cyst. Out damn cyst.

10-27-2008 The cyst on my upper back slowly grew for probably 30 years. It was never a problem and couldn't be seen. Then, BAM! It got angry. So angry that it wanted some serious attention. I gave it what it wanted, including a high-powered antibiotic that made my tongue feel as though it were on fire. While I soothed its anger I decided to get revenge on the attention whore. I enlisted an aider and abettor, an infrequently seen ally in the War on Skin Conditions, a helluva nice guy, and a competent physician with a great sense of humor, Jim. We planned and schemed. "As soon as it's calmed down, bring it by the office", he said, "we'll give it what it deserves". I could hardly wait. Not only had it angered me, but it began to emit a foul odor. I say foul because even though it smelled like aged Swiss cheese (Jim chose "limburger"), I knew it was not. Oh, yes, it was a type of cheese, but not one I would enjoy with crackers. On the fateful morning it took less than 25 minutes to get even. I thoroughly enjoyed it, too. By the way, there are six. Stitches. SIX. Don't mess with me. I get very, very serious if you mess with me. Especially if you intentionally cause me harm or make me hurt.
