<font color="purple">Today was my surgery......

I had three (actually four, two were so close together that we thought it was one) cysts removed from my scalp.... They are oil glands that get plugged and keep filling up..... Poor hubby was all a mess, he just didnt understand that these bumps were only under my skin and not actually on my brain, so he was a nervous wreck..... But I guess that is expected as he lost his dad this past Sept to brain cancer.....

I was awake for the procedure, which wasn't as bad as I thought, but still wouldn't want to do it again.... The doctor and nurse kept me talking which helped... It took an hour to do....

Now here comes the sucky part... My hair is matted with dried blood and iodine.... I CANNOT get my hair wet for the next 48 hrs! I CANNOT shampoo my hair for the next 5 days!!!!! When I do get it wet, I have to use peroxide, now I just colored my hair, intense deep red of course..... So can you imagine what that will do to my color?!?!? AND, I have three bald spots where they shaved my head..... They are each about the size of a 1/4 of a sandwich.... So how attractive is this?!?! LOLOLOL.... My kids think its cool!!

The stitches dont come out intil the 17 th! I am seriously considering just shaving all my hair off and just wear a hat, turban, or scarf until it grows out..... We will see....

I am sore, they burn and sting and keep bleeding... Everytime I make a facial expression or laugh they pull and leak.... EWWWWWWW! I know!!

But I am well.... ) not sure how much I will be online... but just wanted everyone to know I am doing well.....
