Finger

The finger. After running around with mom yesterday, I contacted my dermatologist to ask if she would be able to remove the cyst from my finger. Since I also had sent a photo of the bump, she replied that it was a digital myxoid cyst and that it needed to be removed by the orthopedic clinic. It is a very difficult process. She also suggested that a sterile needle could remove the fluid but it would return. Nope. I want it gone.

Having been seen in that clinic for my fractured knee, I was able to contact that doctor to ask if he could remove the cyst. He replied that it needed to be removed by the hand specialists, I phoned them and made an appointment on September 21 for its removal! Goodbye! Thank goodness!

I am seeing new blood and X-ray results and it appears that the rheumatologist feels I have rheumatoid arthritis. That's not good but I really am not surprised. It would explain a lot.

There was a bit of giggling as I read the X-ray results to Michael as I swear I did not understand one word! When I speak with the doctor, I may ask if she could translate it from Medical to English.

Today is a big day. I will take photos and explain it all soon.
