Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

I meant to post this the other day but for the sheep folks that do Codon testing. We started using Genalysis Labs so we don't have to draw blood in the typical way. They use a card system that allows you to draw a very small amount of blood from a sheeps ear with a syringe and place the sample on one of their cards to mail into them. If you get the card in the mail on Monday, they usually email you the results by Friday.

Those are painful...and hope ya can keep it clean for the most part....I have assisted in a couple of those procedures when I worked in the ER back in the mid 70s.

She packed it to keep it open for a couple of days. I expected her to get on to me for trying to fix it ourselves but when I told her how big it was she said she didn't blame me. When Teresa lanced it the abscess was the size of a golf ball. Much smaller today but it had some infection in it.

. I had an abscess on my back that has been there for years with no change but in the last couple of months has been getting bigger. Teresa lanced it and drained it about a month ago but in the last week or so it has gotten considerable larger so I went to see my doctor this morning. She lanced it all of the way across and dug out all of the infection and gave me a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for a weeks dose of them.

I had one on my upper back for about 15 years. A "fatty cyst" was what the first doctor called it when it first appeared. It stayed the same less-than-golf ball size for several years, then began to grow.
By 2016, when it had finally gotten so big it began to cause problems with my neck, I had it removed in day surgery, it weighed 7 lbs--or they may have said 11 lbs. I don't remember now.

Mine was nowhere near that size but it felt like she was digging around in there with a shovel.

I'm going to start a list of jobs you DIDN'T do in the past!

Maybe Teresa shouldn't have used the rusty Stanley knife to lance it
Glad you got it gone. DD1 just had a small cyst taken off her back.

It first appeared in 1996 or '97..I forget now.
Didn't bother me at all. Back there, I couldn't see it or feel it.
(kinda like a car I once owned. 6 month old loaded Mercury Marquis that had somehow been gently rolled over on it's top....bought it at auction for $500. Looked like hammered dog pooh on the outside, brand new everywhere else, including the hood and top of the fenders. While driving it, you couldn't tell visually that it had a scratch on it, and it ran and drove perfectly. Got lots of odd looks at red lights tho. With a 5.8, it would pass everything but a gas station.
I never was much on aesthetics or cute.

Can't go outside and get sweaty? It rained (drizzled) here yesterday, steam bath today. If I couldn't get sweaty I would have to move my recliner under the AC vent. LOL LOL

Hope you recover quickly!

New show on TV called Dr. Pimple Popper... You can see her on YouTube as well. Pretty graphic but entertaining and interesting procedures.

America, 2018. This, is indicative of just how far society and media has degraded.
