If this was previously posted, I apologize. I had a glitch in the message   
   bases, so the previous post may have gotten zapped before it went out.   
      
     First, the removal of the rather large benign cyst on the left buttocks   
   cheek went well. However, the cyst was VERY DEEP...so, it has to heal from the   
   inside out, and left as an "open wound". I have health care nurses coming by   
   each day for about 15 minutes, to clean the wound, replace the gauze, and pull   
   the hair off the butt cheek when they remove the tape...I think hairy butts   
   are a given for males. :P   
      
     So far, it appears that the wound is healing rather nicely. I haven't had   
   any pain, but it's a bit uncomfortable when they repack the fresh gauze into   
   the wound.   
      
     At least it's just below the waist on the upper left part of the butt cheek,   
   so the risk of fecal contamination is minimal, if at all.   
      
     I'm taking it easy until early next year, as exertion could cause sweat to   
   enter the wound, making it sting like crazy.   
      
     Second, the removal of the scrotum cyst had to be rescheduled to December   
   22, due to the threat of both severe weather and flash flooding tomorrow (Nov.   
   17), when it was originally scheduled). That one I'm not looking forward   
   to...but I sure don't want it to become abscessed, or to turn into a boil.   
   Lacerations in the groin area could cause males to bleed to death.   
      
     Third, I have my yearly eye exam on Friday...cataracts are no longer an   
   issue, as they were removed a few years ago, and intraocular lens implants   
   were done in both eyes...giving me 20/20 visual acuity, and just needing   
   reading glasses.   
      
     Fourth, my Medicare drug plan is changing, due to cost...so, I might have to   
   change pharmacies. I'll take care of that later today.
