So I had a large Cyst(you can see in pic with my friend Jim) on the right side of my neck for the past two years. I had one in the same spot 6 years ago and had it removed by a doctor in my small town in Indiana. Two months ago, a doctor in Raleigh refused to remove it and wanted me to see a specialist! What?! um brokebitch is not going to a specialist. So while in my small hometown I dropped into the walk in clinic to see if he had time to cut me open. Yep impulse buy. Some people choose to buy a new shirt at the last minute but not this girl, it was surgery.
banjos begin to play...
So I was led back to the back room with my doctor who was wearing cowboy boots, khakis and a plaid shirt. Yep my very own cowboy surgeon. Was it alarming that there was a microwave in the room, absolutely not. A cowboy surgeon has got to cook up his lean cuisine too. Of course I'm kidding about the microwave but there was a random printer to the left as if I were in the storage room. As I lay back on the table of hay I wondered if I should reconsider my Dr. Cowboy? Oh no, to be in and out for only $160, this brokebitch was staying. Although I'm kidding about the hay I'm not kidding about the cowboy boots, I think they were scuffed up too.
So four shots in my neck later I was numb and ready to be cut open. I didn't feel a thing so thought Dr. cowboy was doing well. Don't worry I quizzed him about why he thought the cyst was not the other C word. He said it wasn't infected(green) nor an irregular shape so I felt confident. He stiched me up and his 7 year old daughter assisted by bandaging up my neck. I'm kidding, they didn't bandage me up. Of course, there was a nurse and she cleaned the area and did her nurse-ly duties. I left with his instruction to keep it dry, cleaned and apply neosporian to take care of the wound. One week later it looks great!
It's a relief to know that I'm healthy and the eye sore is gone too plus it makes for a great brokebitch blog ;)
