Cyst Free!

I had my second cyst in a year removed today. I get these things called sebaceous cysts from time to to time, which are basically messed up hair follicles or pores that get out of control. This one took a lot longer to remove than the first one because it was a lot deeper and bigger. I laid on the table for a good 30 or 40 minutes before they were done. It's a weird feeling to have someone digging in your neck with a knife and pulling stuff out. I don't like it much. At one point I heard sizzling and popping sounds and smelled burning flesh that was a little disconcerting. After it was over I asked what that sizzling noise was, and the nurse said, "Oh we had to cauterize you." I said with a light saber? She said "no." Just kidding I didn't ask her that. That would have been cool though. I hope I don't get any more cysts for a while, they are a pain.
