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.
