This past weekend Seth was out of town on a dirtbiking trip with Joe and my entire family was at the beach celebrating my mom's birthday. I had a lot to do and so I stayed here. This is probably TMI, but I kept noticing some uncomfort when I sat down, did yoga and after running. Since I was home by myself I couldn't exactly look to see what was going on. I don't know why it took me so long, but on Sunday morning I finally realized what it was. My pilonidal cyst was irritated again. It's been 13 years since I last had this problem, but it's a genetic problem with the skin at my tailbone (thanks a lot Dad!). My sister inherited it as well, so we're all very familiar with the pain it causes.
So after sulking all day yesterday, sitting in warm baths and trying to lay on my side all day, I called Lyndhurst as soon as they opened this morning to see what I should do. They advised me to go ahead and come in to see Dr. Lindel today (Dr's appointment #9). I was so glad he was the Dr. available, because I loved him last time and didn’t have to worry about seeing someone new. This time he was just as nice. He put me on a strong antibiotic, told me to continue soaking in a tub a couple of times a day, and to have a positive attitude. I have an appointment scheduled next Monday anyway so that was perfect timing to come back and have it checked again.
