Surgery

Went for a minor surgery on Sunday to remove a lump on my thigh. It started off as a very small lump underneath my skin and the doc says it's not malignant. Subsequently it began to grow bigger to the size of a big mosquito bite after a few months and i got quite worried. I was very scared during the 15 mins 'surgery' and requested to blindfold my eyes. The doctor injected anesthesia and started the surgery. My mum was called in in the middle of it as the doctor wants her to see how deep my wound was. After stitching up the skin, the doctor bandaged the wound and showed me the cyst. It was quite big in his view (abt the size of a panadol pill) and i was really shocked. He said that i might have pierced into something externally that caused the lump but i cant seem to recall piercing into anything. Well, all is well now. He asked if i wanted to keep the cyst but i was too scared after the operation to react to anything. I should have kept it for memories man! haa.

Went back to the clinic on Monday to wash the wound and i have to wash the wound 2 times everyday and the stitches can only be removed after 1 week. For the next month or so, i had to refrain from seafood, chicken and eggs to let my wound heal. Do hope my wound will heal in time for my Krabi trip in September!

This picture was taken in office when i had to clean my wound. Looks bit digusting though.
