Surgery

Yesterday I had an infected sebaceous cyst removed from my neck. It was painful, and it still continues to be post-op. My doctor (a urologist and surgeon) removed the bugger with the help of a knife (I think - some goggles were covering my eyes) and a laser. The local anathesia didn't ever kick in to the same degree of uber numbness that I was expecting, so I could feel the knife(?) and the laser. Imagine feeling your own skin burning. Ewww. I am ok overall, traumatized by the pain and the experience. My doctor pointed out the obvious - I have a very low threshold for pain. Call me a wuss. Go ahead. I am just hopeful for some minimal scarring after my stitches are removed. My first need for stitches. Too bad the back story is so....clinical.
