A little less than spider woman, I am
Oh what a silly line I have there. 
Well, yeah. I love spider man. Heehee.
I have this protruding thingy on my right wris. Whenever people would ask me what it is, I just tell them, “I was trying to slash my pulse but I did it wrong.” And they would just say, “You’re really crazy. Haha.” Sometimes I’d tell them I’m spider woman then show them a pose like squirting out a web. With my palm facing down, since spider man do it with his palm facing up. (With the sound effect, of course.) Yeah, my boss cracked up at that.
Well, it’s a cyst. I once had it under surgery 7 years ago. Few years later it’s back. It missed me, I suppose. I’ve seen 3 surgeons about it though. And they said it’s nothing serious. I can have it removed or not. Hmm… I’m scared of needles, and pain, and spending money a lot. What do you think did I opt to do?… You guessed it right. I didn’t undergo another surgery. I was thinking of saving money first and if I have enough I’ll have it removed then. But something happened…
Last weekend, me and some of the girls at work decided to go drinking at a friend’s place. Wow! We had boracay mix. Then an hour later some of the guys at work came over with a bottle of tiquela. I got buzzed! The next day I went to my place and did a little of the laundry. I went out again to visit a family friend. When I was on my way going back to my place, I noticed that the thingy on my wrist feels a little softer and a bit painful when I touch it. I got a little worried. I was thinking, could it be with the drinking I did, that it melted the cyst away. Or is it with the laundry?
The next day… Working day. It was sooo busy I even forgot about it. Later that night I decided to go see the doctor. And I skipped work the next day to see the doctor. A bit anxious, my heart pounding a little when I arrived at the clinic. The clinic is so tiny. It was divided into 2. One side is the receiving area, the other side is where the doctor attends to the patients. When I got there the doctor is doing a minor surgery. He was circumcising a kid. I can clearly hear the kid screaming and shouting out of pain. And I was thinking, If the doctor would say I’d have to undergo a surgery, damn! I don’t think I can handle it alone. Inside the operating room!
The doctor had to go to the in-patients after that. So I had to wait longer before knowing what to do with the little thingy on my wrist. When the doctor came back, few more patients he attended to before my turn. Now it was my turn. I was trembling a little bit explaining to the doctor what happened. He was just relaxed! Whew. He said it popped out the cystic fluid and scattered that’s why my hand is a little swelling. (You can hardly notice it though unless you really look at it.) We talked a little bit more about it and I’m done. What a relief! I still have the little thingy but it’s the tiny one that’s left. It may grow bigger but I hope it won’t go anything serious.
