Reply #15: I don't want any more interesting days

[Demeter]

The Kid developed an abscess due to inflammation of an undefined cyst, which I noticed Monday morning. And we've been spending 1-2 hours a day at th doctors, since.

The good news is it isn't bacterial. The bad news is, it's an inch deep.

So every day we go in to have the incision packed with a gauze wick to pull out whatever, and as it heals from the bottom up, this will mean less gauze until it's completely healed, and then she'll need surgery to remove the cyst.

And when I first brought the cyst to the doctors' attention, several years ago, they all said, "Don't worry about it." :eyes:

And while it heals, I have to keep her out of the bathtub and shower, which means constant vigilance, since she doesn't understand...and tries to sneak in anyway.
