Go back and reread post #33 on through and that your breakfast is well settled before you go further.
Said cyst had only been big for the last 8 years. Its really been there in minute form for the last 16 years.
2 nights ago it came to a head. Last night we went after it. The darn thing was in the center of my back, so Tonks had to do all of the glory.

It was lanced and worked at for about 4 minutes. Tonks was about to give up she said something like 'what the hell?'. She backed off and came back. It had apparently squirted her in the face. She squeezed it again and I suddenly felt a kind of chilly spray all up my neck and arms. I looked up to see that my arms were covered by an ill smelling micro confetti. I was grossed out until she pointed at the wall, painting, and ceiling above the headboard. The wall was covered by said same goo... I mean covered. She immediately covered the area with a towel and continued to work it. Shockingly large amounts of this vile 'minced garlic' looking cheese that smelled like ... well... lets not go into that. 20 minutes of working at it and me squirming with pain later... lots more 'stuff'... I can't believe how much.
Needless to say, we both went for some serious bath soaking and cleansing after that.
I feel better... but battered. Theres still a lump on my back. I don't know if theres more or if its just a sprain-like swelling reaction from the trauma.
