Burton the Bump

   So recently I had surgery on my left wrist to remove a cyst that was growing on the top of my joint about the size of a ping pong ball!  After it was removed, it deflated and they even let me keep it in a jar!  For those of you who don't know what a cyst is; it is a little balloon-ish type thing that goes down and is attached to your bone, it then fills with a jelly type substance and can either grow or shrink, they can cause pain and look really funny!  I'm sure if you googled it you would find lovely pictures and a better description, but ya.  So I had the surgery on Friday and am now four days out.  I have a purple cast type thingy and a jar with my little Burton the Bump in it. On Thursday I get to take of the purple thing and I will have to start moving it....the doctor said that I won't have full range of motion for a while but the length of that while fully depends on how much I work it.
