Big. Gaping. Hole.

I could never be in the medical profession. Nevermind all the biology courses and pharmocology courses. Nevermind all the years spent in school combined with even more years training in hospitals and clinics. I just can't handle wounds and blood.

I had minor surgery yesterday. No big deal, just the removal of a cyst. But this now means that I have another hole in my body, albeit temporarily. And I have to change the dressing. And put ointment on the wound. And... deal with... um... all the stuff that goes with having a gaping hole in your body.

I had such a hard time cleaning the wound this morning. Where's my nurse? When do I get my sponge bath?
