Time is creeping up on me today. I have an appointment with a surgeon at 3:30 to talk about how we're going to get rid of my pilonidal cyst. My guess: surgery. Ha. I'm funny. But I don't know much about different types of surgery and all that. So that's really what this appointment is all about.
I'm nervous right now. I have so many questions, and I haven't been writing them down so I don't know what they all are. I Google'd "pilonidal cyst" and read about it. There was a picture on the Wikipedia page. Don't look at that one. It's not pretty. Instead, I read on some health website all about it. If you're really interested, you can go read about it, but I wouldn't suggest eating your lunch at the same time.
Mark gave me a Priesthood blessing this morning, which gives me comfort. But I am still nervous. Wish me luck.
Post-Edit:
I'm back from the doctor. No surgery in the foreseeable future. I've just got to continue taking the antibiotics I've been taking and hope that it just goes away. If not, well, that's another story. My prayers are for the first case. Thanks for your prayers and support.

Hope it goes well. Let us know if you need anything. :)
Hey I wanted to call you and check up, but thanks to your post I can know how you are doing! I will keep you in mind, and in my prayers! Glad there is no surgery in the forecast yet.
I'm very glad that surgery is not the treatment plan for you, coming from someone who has had more surgeries than she should at her age... I can honestly say they are no fun!
I had surgery to remove a cyst while I was in my mission. It wasn't too bad, but I don't know anything about pilonidal cysts. I would have to go to wikipedia, I guess. I hope it all goes well!
Megan says she misses both of you!
Pilonidal cyst spelled backwards is tsyc ladinolip and if you say it a few times like that it makes you giggle a little bit...and that should make you feel better.
