Tuesday ; Sunny and very warm.
Had surgery today at Bethesda Regional Health Centre a.k.a. Steinbach Hospital. Had a sebaceous cyst removed from the coronary surgical scar on my chest. Had a ganglion cyst removed from the top of little finger on my left hand. Into the hospital at 9:30 AM. Out at 1 PM.
Sebaceous cyst on chest recurred after being drained a few years ago. Became infected after draining. Doctor and surgeon felt it would just keep recurring after draining, so excision recommended. Excision (surgical removal) was what I wanted / requested. Cause of recurring cyst was damage to sweat gland under chest wall during coronary surgical incision.
Ganglion cyst “root” deeper than expected. Lots of flesh removed. Bleeding took 24 hours to stop. Nursing instructions were “just apply pressure for 5 to 10 minutes and bleeding will stop”. Yeah … no !
Little to no pain on chest wall. Lots of pain in little finger !
Friday ; Sunny and hot.

Went to RV storage yard again today to continue work on truck pinstriping removal and replacement project. Across the highway was a recently installed Confederate flag. Mounted on flagpole, beside stop sign. Ergo … on “public” property ! F***ing anti-mask, anti-vax, Freedumb convoy fascists in neighbourhood ! ! !
When I was ready to return home I drove across the highway, removed the evil and offensive Confederate flag, and the pole it was mounted on, drove home, and threw them into our condo’s dumpster.
So there ! ! !
Saturday; Sunny and hot.
Day 4 after surgery. Had shower for first time following surgery, then removed and changed dressings, first time on chest. Chest cyst excision looks fine, expect sutures can likely be removed next Tuesday as scheduled. Finger cyst excision looks horrible, doubtful that sutures can be removed Tuesday. Looks like most flesh on top of little finger, from nail bed to first knuckle, has been removed.
