The first of July started like no other had. As the calendar flicked over, I woke up from my hospital bed and looked out the window into the darkness outside. It would have been darker but for a light on the campus gently swaying in the cold nights breeze. As the nurse came in again to take my 'obs' I was shaken from my thoughts. The bedside light came on. I hadn't been asleep, not yet. We exchanged pleasantries while she took my blood pressure, pulse and asked me how the pain was, I thought to myself that this wasn't how I thought it would end. But let me tell you to the story... and of course, show you the gory photos of something that went from an annoying pain in the neck to sizeable hole in the neck.
Better yet, let me show you... The Hole.
It was basically a
sebaceous cyst that became infected and had to be removed. I'd had it for years an not thought much of it but when it became infected, when you could feel it throbbing and burning. It certainly took up a lot more of my attention. An so that is how I ended up at the hospital A&E.
Over the next few weeks it had to be packed and covered. Al up it took about a month to heal (between the first frame of the movie and the last).
I hope you find it gruesome but interesting.
