What To Do With A Hole In Your Back
At the beginning of December of this year, I had a cyst taken off of my back. It had been there for about a year and had not bothered me at all. Around the middle of October it started to get big and painful. It really only hurt when I would lay down or bump it on something but when it grew to the size of a golf ball, I know that I had to do something. I saw my doctor on election day and she lanced it to no avail. Her suggestion was to have it removed so I scheduled an appointment with a surgeon. The sad thing was all of this time, it was seeping some very ugly looking stuff. I should have bought stock in Johnson & Johnson but everything is much clearer in hind sight.
So now I have a hole in my back that the doctor says is healing nicely. Unfortunately, when he did the surgery, it was still infected which impeded the healing process. It is still seeping but the volume has greatly reduced and one of the side effects was that I have not been able to really exercise for about three months. Couple that with the holiday season and a lack of will power and you have the gift that keeps on giving; 20 extra pounds on top of the already blessed abdomen.
My whole family (with the exception of the 13 year old boy who eats whatever he wants and remains pencil thin) has decided that they are going to undertake an exercise and portion program called P90X. If you watch any television at all, you have at least passed over one of their infomercials on the way to deciding there is nothing worth watching. I realize that I am disciplined enough to continue a work out routine but since eating is the problem, the family will be going on the menu program. I know at least three of us will be doing the work out so with hard work and dedication, we should all be thinner and healthier by Easter.
So that is what you get for a hole in your back. Hopefully, it continues to heal from the inside out and I do not have a dime sized hole in the middle of my back. If not, it will make a great story about how I was wounded. I can change it every time depending on the audience and make sure I either get the maximum sympathy or push the testosterone threshold.
