I took Jim's advice and stayed off the web last night. Reading too much into a situation can put the scariest, craziest scenarios in your head. I envisioned being laid up in a hospital bed with IV's stuck in me for weeks. I'm bummed but realize this too shall pass.mikechamp wrote:Didn't think I'd ever see those words used together in a serious tone.Tambourine Man wrote:Hooray!!! It's a staph infection.

Oh man, that sucks. Stay strong, buddy. Let me know when the surgery is.Tambourine Man wrote:Hooray!!! It's a staph infection. Doc thinks a sebaceous cyst is the culprit and it needs to be surgically removed once the meds have run their course. He's concerned due to the close proximity to the neck and vital organs that it could happen again, possibly with greater severity. But I'm much calmer now that I know what's up. Damn, this thing is painful. Some sleep will help.
