Subj : HEALTH UPDATE

  If this was previously posted, I apologize. I had a glitch in the message 
bases, so the previous post may have gotten zapped before it went out.

  First, the removal of the rather large benign cyst on the left buttocks cheek 
went well. However, the cyst was VERY DEEP...so, it has to heal from the inside 
out, and left as an "open wound". I have health care nurses coming by each day 
for about 15 minutes, to clean the wound, replace the gauze, and pull the hair 
off the butt cheek when they remove the tape...I think hairy butts are a given 
for males. :P

  So far, it appears that the wound is healing rather nicely. I haven't had any 
pain, but it's a bit uncomfortable when they repack the fresh gauze into the 
wound.

  At least it's just below the waist on the upper left part of the butt cheek, 
so the risk of fecal contamination is minimal, if at all.

  I'm taking it easy until early next year, as exertion could cause sweat to 
enter the wound, making it sting like crazy.

  Second, the removal of the scrotum cyst had to be rescheduled to December 22, 
due to the threat of both severe weather and flash flooding tomorrow (Nov. 17), 
when it was originally scheduled). That one I'm not looking forward to...but I 
sure don't want it to become abscessed, or to turn into a boil. Lacerations in 
the groin area could cause males to bleed to death.

  Third, I have my yearly eye exam on Friday...cataracts are no longer an 
issue, as they were removed a few years ago, and intraocular lens implants were 
done in both eyes...giving me 20/20 visual acuity, and just needing reading 
glasses.

  Fourth, my Medicare drug plan is changing, due to cost...so, I might have to 
change pharmacies. I'll take care of that later today.
