If this was previously posted, I apologize. I had a glitch in the message
bases, so the previous post may have gotten zapped before it went out.

  First, the removal of the rather large benign cyst on the left buttocks
cheek went well. However, the cyst was VERY DEEP...so, it has to heal from the
inside out, and left as an "open wound". I have health care nurses coming by
each day for about 15 minutes, to clean the wound, replace the gauze, and pull
the hair off the butt cheek when they remove the tape...I think hairy butts
are a given for males. :P

  So far, it appears that the wound is healing rather nicely. I haven't had
any pain, but it's a bit uncomfortable when they repack the fresh gauze into
the wound.

  At least it's just below the waist on the upper left part of the butt cheek,
so the risk of fecal contamination is minimal, if at all.

  I'm taking it easy until early next year, as exertion could cause sweat to
enter the wound, making it sting like crazy.

  Second, the removal of the scrotum cyst had to be rescheduled to December
22, due to the threat of both severe weather and flash flooding tomorrow (Nov.
17), when it was originally scheduled). That one I'm not looking forward
to...but I sure don't want it to become abscessed, or to turn into a boil.
Lacerations in the groin area could cause males to bleed to death.

  Third, I have my yearly eye exam on Friday...cataracts are no longer an
issue, as they were removed a few years ago, and intraocular lens implants
were done in both eyes...giving me 20/20 visual acuity, and just needing
reading glasses.

  Fourth, my Medicare drug plan is changing, due to cost...so, I might have to
change pharmacies. I'll take care of that later today.
