Well, this isn't about Gary's back, but is related to my appointment today that I mentioned above. I have a big ole cyst on my back which has to be excised. I have to take antibiotics first though, because it is inflammed right now. They will cut it out the middle of October. Fun. Just a local in the office, no big deal.

Wow Gayle! You've had a big day today with drs appts. Sorry about Gary's back, hopefully it can be fixed with no surgery.
Ewww a boil is sooo sore! I had one once and it was awful. Hope all goes well with your bone density test. Mine turned out to be low and I have to take Actonel for it. Hope yours is better.

Thanks Paula. My bone density is low too, but getting better. I take Evista. This is just a routine test to see how I am doing. Hopefully OK, I'll find out in a week or so.
Re the thing on my back. It turned out to be an encapsulated cyst rather than a boil - which is not as painful. However, it will have to be surgically removed (just in the office). She injected it with cortisone today to reduce the inflammation and I have to take antibiotics for a week also. All the inflammation has to be gone when they remove it or they can't get it all and it will come back. I don't want that, for sure!
