The cyst stopped growing after I began the antibiotics. The hitch- it hasn’t reduced in size either. I am counting down the days until surgery. I am tired. I cannot sleep comfortably at night, and eating and drinking is difficult because of pain when swallowing. On a happier note, I got book six of the Kate Burkholder series. My library got it from another library. Tomorrow I have my pre-op physical. Stay Caffeinated and spread kindness.

I hope you’re able to get some rest until you can get the cyst taken care of, Kimberly! You’ve had a rough time of things lately! I got an e-copy invite for Witches of Dubious Origins and I think I’ll download it. I’ve enjoyed her contemporary romance books. Hope you feel better!
Katherine
I’m so glad the cyst stopped growing but wow it sounds miserable – especially the not being able to sleep. It’s amazing how difficult everything is when you are running on no sleep. I’m glad you’ve found a series of books you’re enjoying and hopefully is helping pass the time. Enjoy your reading and hopefully the days pass quickly to surgery day.
Mary Kirkland
Good luck with the surgery.
Chris Tullbane
The sooner surgery comes, the better. Hoping you can get some decent sleep in the meanwhile!

I hope tomorrow’s appt goes well and the time goes quickly until the surgery. It’s great it’s not growing. I’m so sorry you have this problem.
Sophie
I am so sorry that you are sleeping badly and that drinking hurts. I hope you will feel better soon thanks to the surgery Kimberly!

Yay for the cyst not continuing to grow, praying all goes well this week. I hope once it is taken out you heal quickly. Happy reading.

Wishing you well through pre-op, prep and surgery. Yay for a book you were looking forward to coming in.
Have a good week, Kimberly!

I hope the surgery helps and that day gets here quickly for you! So sorry you’re still dealing with that. Here’s hoping this is a little better week for you in the meantime with that!

I just had a cyst removed from my jaw, as well as a molar that it compromised. That was Tuesday. I’m still fighting the pain though I’m eating again somewhat. I literally feel your pain.
Kimberly
Feel better Bonnie. Mine is near my thyroid. They are removing the cyst, part of the hyoid bone and the canal that the cyst grew in. It’s about the size of an extra-large egg right now. Read and rest Bonnie!
Bonnie Reads and Writes
That is a large cyst. Praying for a safe and successful procedure.

I hope the prep goes smoothly and get the relief you need soon
Wishing you a happy reading week
