Had surgery wednesday and now home.
went ok,in the end they had to remove cyst and not scoop inside out as it was coming away .
hopefully the hole left wont cause problems with inhaling fluids and food as thought with it being next to my nasal passage.
have stitches in my mouth and face is swollen like a balloon,in a lot of pain and feeling very weak,not very well at all.
can only drink and eat a little soft food.
just need to rest and take codine and anti-inflamatories.
sent cyst off to get checked out and go back in 4 wks for post op check and results.

Yea! You're alive!!! That's great news!!! :D
(does that do ANYTHING to make you feel any better??)

But seriously, I hope the pain meds do their thing so that you can relax and rest well and that will help you heal so much faster. Hugs!!

Hi Olly

I hope you are starting to feel a little bit better by now. I've always thought that if one has one major complaint, well then you should be exempted from anything else going wrong. It just doesn't seem fair or reasonable.

All the best.

Lilly
