I’ll find out soon if my fear has any basis in rationality. My arm is starting to ache a bit incredibly reminiscent of the issues I had slightly over two years ago when they had to cut it open (nasty pictures, beware) to drain out the infection. I’m gonna drop by the Urgent Care at a clinic recommended by a man from my church. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Update: “Incised cyst.” Apparently some skin growing inward under the surface trying to form another layer of skin instead of where it’s supposed to be any ends up making a “ball”. The infection is the symptom and apparently shows up in the middle of the ball. (If I’m understanding it correctly.) Gonna try antibiotics, but it’s 50/50 leaning towards needing to be sliced and drained (again). Plus I’ve got to wait to get the drugs until the morning because Walgreens is backed up. I’m frustrated, tired, hungry, fighting infection, not sure how scheduling is gonna work out for getting to work in the morning, and… well. It’ll all come together, but this is not how I want to head into the weekend before Christmas.
