I mentioned on my previous blog post here that I underwent cyst operation at Makati Medical Centre. I thank the Lord that the laboratory result of my cyst is not malignant. Before we jump into my surgery story here is the picture of my cyst to give you an idea how big it was.
One week before the operation date I was advice by my doctor to take antibacterial tablets which is cefuroxime (500mgs). I need to take it every 12 hours a day. The medicine smells awful and it taste bad too. Oh I forgot I also had a hard time to gulp it down because the tablet is big.
The cyst operation that I had is not a major one which just lasted for an hour. The injection of anesthesia is painful but the operation is just a breeze after. Luckily, my general surgeon has a good sense of humor. I didn't notice that he already removed the cyst because he was throwing jokes to divert my attention.
After the surgery, I didn't experience difficulty taking a bath because my wound is covered with waterproof dressing. I forgot to shot a picture of it so my apology. Here's the picture of my back, after 2 weeks and after the doctor removed the waterproof dressing:

I had three stitches covered with tape on the picture above. The doctor removed it anyway on my second consultation with him. After 3 months here is the picture of my back:
As you can see the surgery left me with an inch scar. Some find it as an imperfection because being a woman, there is this perception that we should have at least a flawless skin. I don't see it as one. The scar reminds me how strong I am to undergo the operation.
If you will ask me how I am right now? I am feeling great! Hopefully I will never have a cyst again in the future. I’ll cross my finger for that and with God’s grace I know I will have a healthy body. So what about you? Do you have a surgery story? Share it on the comment below.
