I went to see the doctor about the cyst on my jaw today and the scaredy-cat bastard didn't want to remove it himself. He said he was worried about cutting some crucial nerve or something, thus paralising my face for life, but I reckon he's just lazy (in my medical opinion). So I have been referred to a plastic surgeon at the hospital and put on anti-biotics as it's probably infected which is why it's suddenly got so big. I hope it doesn't take long, I'm the kind of curious individual who has to try very hard not to reach for a knife and cut it open, just to see what comes out. It's like having a Christmas present that you're not allowed to open yet because it's not Christmas, only much more gross.

Have you ever seen the film 'How To Get A-Head In Advertising'?

Don't forget, this was once a puny cyst before it got infected. When it finally burst it was amazing! There was this mixture of blood and puss pouring out. I had to use two or three rolls of kitchen roll to soak it up! Brilliant!!!

And then the surgeons had to scrape it out, leaving a huge hole in my neck.

(BTW, those photos are for friends and relatives only since someone complained about them on Flickr...)

Sadly, I can't forget those pictures Tony. I've tried therapy and everything, but the images are still etched in my mind!

Nick has got a cool scar on his shoulder from having a cyst removed. It's like a comedy cartoon scar, you know what I mean, a line with perpendicular lines crossing it where the stiches were.

tony,
I'm very disappointed not to be able to view your cyst photos.

Rach, since you're dying to see them I've added Nick as a friend in Flickr so you can view them through his account.

They're not that bad. Chris is just being a big girl's blouse.

Here's the full set:
