Best case scenario, they just gota suck the absence out, and I'm outa there right afterwards. Worse case scenario, they gota cut up more in order to actually remove tissue.
Essentially I had a 'lump' on my left leg where the hip, leg, groin area meet, of which I thought at first it mighta been a hernia, which it was not, turned out to be a swollen lymph node, possibly as an allergic reaction. Last doctor visit I had wasn't too bad, some coughing, some soreness, lump was smaller and fine, doc even visited the hospital room the weekend my 3rd kid was born to check on me (and to check on the kid since that will be yet another one of his patients), of which things seemed to go down.
Well over the last two weeks the 'lump' got bigger, and could visibly be seen, and every morning and evening my knees, ankles and feet were so stiff and sore I could hardly get out of bed or off the couch, and during the day I walked much like a guy who been shot in the leg or something.
So I go in today, luckily he had an opening, first he checks it out... then he brings some other doctor, and she checks it out, then they get some specialist and he checked it out. And they determined it was no longer a swollen lymph node but rather an 'absesess' (however you spell it), and that he wanted to admit me that afternoon, but I mentioned I had to help Rose with the kids since she recently had a c-section so shouldn't be lifting anything, so he basically let me go home, but scheduled for a surgery downtown, first thing in the morning, and basically said if the thing ruptured, or had a lot of pain to goto the ER asap.
Hopefully they just gota get in there and drain it out... sounds gross I know, but apparently the shit is dangerous.
They also gave me a Tetnus shot before I left.... (what's that bout?)
