I have pilar cysts all over my scalp (they are basically big sacs filled with keratin).  I had a teratoma on my ovary.  My GYN wouldn&#8217;t tell me the contents, but confirmed that if I read google I would know what was in it.  Google tells me they are full of bones, teeth, hair, skin, etc.  You know, you&#8217;re basic random body parts shoved into a little bag in my ovary.  My talent is vast.<\/p>\n<p>While my mom was here she was telling me about a family friend who had a cyst on her wrist.  They didn&#8217;t have insurance, so her husband slammed a can of corn on it, which burst the thing and made it go away.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday during BodyPump I noticed that my wrist feeling a little tweakish during certain moves.  Yesterday I thought the joint was swollen.  Today it is huge!  It is clearly a cyst, so I looked it up and found out there is a specific kind of cyst that grows on your wrist joint&#8211;a ganglion cyst.  It&#8217;s a sac filled with fluid that can turn gelatinous. Yummy!  <\/p>\n<p>In the old days they called them bible bumps because the accepted cure was to have someone in the family bash it with a bible to break it up.  That is not the preferred treatment these days, but do you think I would let a little something like common sense stop me?<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t bring myself to actually bash the bump with a book or canned good, especially since I was home alone.  I pressed it against the table really hard and felt a small pop.  Now, instead of a big lump, I have a bagel wrist.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ramblequeen\/8644564032\/\" title=\"bagel by Ramble Queen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8118\/8644564032_e84f9ef884_o.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"548\" alt=\"bagel\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not quite as bad as a Japanese bagel forehead (what a strange, strange land), but it is not attractive either.  I&#8217;m planning on calling the doctor on Monday if it doesn&#8217;t go away on it&#8217;s own.  Maybe I&#8217;ll even let Mike bash me with one of his bibles (aka giant Wheel of Time book).<\/p>\n<p>Guess I better go put Erik to bed.  Do I really have to read to him tonight?  I know I do, but we&#8217;re back to Magic Tree House books and you know how I feel about those.
