a followup to my mini "surgery":

it wasn't that bad... the nice doctor pricked open the cyst for me and collected the goo inside for testing in what took less than 10 minutes. quite painfree compared to the pain exam crunching is going to be. she commented on what nice skin i have too =D and gave me a early birthday present...a mini tube of anti-inflammatory ointment. The best kind out there. =P now if only the pain will go away sooner!!
