People always clap for the wrong things.

whatiseenashville said: is the cyst on your arm?

Essentially, there is a bit of sugar coating for my public. (lol)

You know that big bony bump on your wrist? The lump is about a half inch up from there on my hand. It’s been there for a while, and the physical therapy aggravating it was why I skipped the last couple of appointments.

My doctor thought it was hilarious that I called in on those therapy appointments with fake strep throat so I reserved the right to go back to PT if needed. Strep throat is always a go-to excuse. Nobody fucking wants strep throat. He asked me to imitate my fake strep throat voice just to see how I did it, and I got a rousing applause.

For this week, this lump is going to be a cyst. I have some aggressive medications that will hopefully reduce its size or eliminate it altogether. If the lump persists the testing begins at the end of next week.

There may be a few poultices up my sleeve too. ;)
