Some­time in 1986/7 I went to a doc­tor for what I found out was a sebaceous cyst on my left shoulder blade. Not going into detail, but I was left with a per­man­ent reminder of this cyst. That is, the bulk of the scar­ring remained.

Yes­ter­day, after an inflam­ma­tion and a 6 week battle of with anti-biotics, I could finally get the beastie removed. Under the care­ful assist­ance of Avril, I had the cyst pro­fes­sion­ally removed. The size of a grape, the sur­gical excision took 45 minutes under local. Now I have a 4cm scar with 5 stitches. Strangely, apart from the pain of a deep skin wound; my body seems to be relieved that the nas­ti­ness has gone.

The left hand side of my body is a war zone. Scars, infec­tions, palsies. LOL
