Christmas Surgery

My christmas present...to my wrist!

It all started in July when i discovered a bump on my wrist. i got it checked out and it ended up being a ganlion cyst...Don't fret Ganglion cysts are not dangerous. Being in Human Biology i thought it would be interesting to find out what exactly a cyst is. A cyst is just a clear sack of fluid that usually develops in between joints from over using the joints. Cysts can go away but are likely to come back. My mom set up an appointment for me to see a hand specialist. The appointment was on Monday Dec 15th and with a Christmas miracle they had an opening for the next day. The hand specialist said that getting surgery there is a 10% chance it will come back. As you can see by the pictures i went through with the surgery. It wasn't as bad as i expected, i was knocked out within a minute and all i remember is asking A LOT of questions! i think the nurses got a kick out of it because i remember some of them laughing! haha
All i have to do now is wait two weeks for the stitches to come out and i can go skiing and do more active activities!
