The tail bone of cyst removal Take Two

Two years ago in August 2010 I had the first pilonidal cyst removed.  It was supposed to be all gone and unfortunately nearly two year's later it decided to return.

So I go get the cyst o'Doom removed on July 11 2013.

Hopefully because it is smaller and taken care of much sooner then the 6+ years leading up to the last surgery my healing time will be faster (8-10 weeks versus the 14-21 weeks without the Vac from last time around).
Hopefully I won't need a Vac (negative pressure machine to increase healing).

It sucks because it is smack dab in the middle of summer. The other date given me was while William was still in school which though ideal because he is at school, less ideal when I have to be the one to at least get him from school as Andrew is in finals mode for thesis defence.

I am hoping to put William into summer camp for the two weeks following my surgery as it is a 8am-5pm drop off/pick up Andrew can do that and still get a full day's work in.

This means there will be no splash parks or swimming for me after the 11th of July and pretty much the rest of the summer. Which royally sucks. But since I have no idea where we will be moving to at the end of August it had to be done.
This makes me very glad that I got the nifty sprinkler thingie for the front yard for the day care crew.  It will be tricky keeping me from getting too wet, but basically I have to keep the dressing area dry.  My front is okay to get wet.
It also means the week before my surgery I am definitely taking the kids to the Splash pad as a field trip.

I am relieved and terrified. Relieved it is being dealt with in a timely fashion this time.
Terrified of surgery -I had a horrible time post surgery with the anaesthetic and Percocept which meant I suffered pain wise for the first week because I chose to be in pain instead of sick and in pain.

Terrified I might have a flare up with this hot humid weather before surgery.
Terrified with every twinge of pain or itch in the area that I might face draining before surgery.

I am also a little frustrated because it was supposed to be done and gone last time.
Unfortunately I fall into the 25% who have a reoccurrence post surgery.

Sigh.

Dr. Saunders looked at it, said it is significantly smaller then the previous one.
Says I was right, surgery at this point is my only option because they just keep coming back.

Here's hoping this time is the last time.
