I have seen my cyst....

[beccalynnlaw]

and I am naming him Herbert.  My ENT guy (the fancy name for his specialty makes me think of birds, so for now, he's the ENT guy, and he was very encouraging.  My cyst is back down to small after the Amoxicilin from hell regimen, and is, according to Dr. F, textbook.  I even got to see pictures on the ultra-sound (free, since the new protocol is to have your own machine, and Dr. F is still learning to use his).  Also, my thyroid is "small, but very cleaning looking).  And there are no risk signs that Herbert is some kind of carcinoma, which is good.  I expect we will probably schedule the surgery for the second or third week in February.


I wonder if I get to keep Herbert in a jar, after its over.  I could bring him to class and populace and staff meetings for show and tell.

Could I make you a fancy decorated jar for you to store him in? I could add little googly eyeballs as well. :)

HAHAHAHAHA....

If they let me keep Herbert, than absolutely!

Ohhh - you'll have to use the wall paper I'm using for LJ - it has creepy eyeballs in a jar.
Glad to hear everything went well. Does that mean you get to go to the event with us??

[beccalynnlaw]

Yup, definitely planning on coming to the event.

Yay for textbook cysts! (And what a wonderful thing to be able to type!)

[beccalynnlaw]

It does sound like a cyst caused by a text book, doesn't it? "Ms. Williams, you are so over-educated, your body now reacts to text books by creating cysts!"

Glad it's nothing serious!

You COULD bring him to populace meetings...
But then Pavel would want to bring HIS excised bits, and Marcus would want to bring HIS excised bits, and, well, do you REALLY want to start that kind of one-upmanship in GRIMFELLS?

(We lose more body parts after midnight and before 6 am than most people will admit to... or something like that.)

I could always flash my "other" surgical scars.... Might take them a minute to breath again, let alone think...

Really looking forward to the event this weekend! Thanks so much for inviting me!

We're gonna have a blast... :-)
Plus, we get to gossip all the way up, and how much fun is that? :-)

We are just the people who would want to see Herbert. :-)
