Update on the wrist saga...

[starsandsea]

I finally got to see a consultant today. It seems that my Ganglion is worse than everyone previously thought. It's apparently bigger than average, and it's somehow attached itself to one of my wrist bones because it's an alien life form invading my body! it's a evil thing. So, I'm definitely going to have an operation to remove it. It's tentatively been scheduled for the 2nd August. I'm going to have the cyst completely removed, and for that to happen they're going to cut away a sliver of the bone it's attached to. That means I need to be under general anesthetic, rather than local anesthetic as was previously thought. And I'm already very nervous about it, since the last time I was under general anesthetic, and the last time I was operated on, was when I was two. So... I'm going to have a bandage type thing that I need to keep on for 10-12 days, and then have physiotherapy afterwords, so I'm going to be out of action for a little while. It remains to be seen how well I'll be able to type and such with this bandage thing. So... that's what's happening. Expect an incredibly nervous post the day before it all happens.

Aww, that sucks that it has come down to surgery, but at least now they're actually going to do something about the cyst. I have one in my wrist as well and it still flares up from time to time, so I'm glad they're going to take yours out once and for all. No more pain, woot!

As for general anesthesia, I had it when they took out my wisdom teeth and I actually kind of liked it. When I woke up I felt all silly and loopy, it was awesome.

Good luck with everything Star, I'm sure the surgery will go fine :)

Agh, I'm so sorry you have one too! *hugs* They are nasty things aren't they?

Sillyness and loopyness I can do! LOL.

Thank you! :) I hope that your one doesn't hurt too much...
