Back from the Docs

I am now back on the boat following my appointment with the doctor.

It all started about 18 months ago when a pea size lump appeared on my neck. After being bullied by all the girls (daughters in law) and from Jaq 5000miles away I went to the doctor to be told it was a Sebaceous cyst. No need to worry unless it increased in size as it would either disappear or remain pea size forever with no problems.

So i`m happy the girlie's are happy(although it was nice they worried about me) thanks girls and life just carried on  and life was good for 18 months. Over the past 3 weeks it suddenly grew very large and this time the doc says it is infected and put me on Antibiotics. Evidently they can be infected through the skin pores as well as what is travelling through your body.

At the moment it has gone down a little but Jaq says a head has formed which means it might be ready to drain. When I looked using 2 mirrors my thoughts were of the boils I suffered as a youngster.

    Glad it's nothing really serious.
