The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

I love 'em. Maybe we can order an anchovie and pepperoni pizza during the Livestock moot?

[Wneighbor]

Yep, I read about ya'lls doctor things. How long has elf-boy had that thing on his wrist? I have never seen anything like that. yikes!

Tell him I had a friend who made paper airplanes as a real job.

That would truly be a cool job to have.

You should see the other side of that airplane of PE's. (BTW, there are, I think, three other smaller versions of the same plane somewhere around here - two more at his office and one at home?).

Sunday would have been a great paper airplane flying day. It was a vey hugh kite flying day.

[PurpleQ]

Okay, if you insist. I will try anything once. :-)

[2Jedismom]

We'll get one with half of it with anchovies.

You're a good sport!

I noticed it about a week or two ago. Made a mental note on its size and decided not to worry unless it looked like there might be a problem. Last Thursday, it appeared more pronounced. I decided to go ahead and get the pediatrician to take a look at it. Made the appt yesterday, and got in for today.

The doc said it is most probably a ganglionic cyst, and doesn't wanna play around with it because it will only get worse as time allows. Also, at 5 years old, Elf-boy isn't really doing a lot of writing yet. Better to get it taken care of now, while use of his hand won't be too limited.

I will have to get a pic of it to show you. It actually looks like he has a white marble under the skin on his wrist. The cyst protrudes about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

[PurpleQ]

Okay, Cya later gator!

I am outta here myself. Almost 5 o'clock. Time to leave work and head home in the rain.

Cya tomorrow :-)

Thanks for the ping! Said a prayer for the success and safety of the surgery.

The doc said it is most probably a ganglionic cyst

That was what first entered my mind...

[Wneighbor]

But, I'm back now!!!

After being met at the door by 4 people with problems when I got here..... help!

I was doing a bit of research on them, and it seems that children under the age of ten *can* get them, but it is vey rare... That it is usually in response to some sort of trauma like possibly slamming a hand in the cardoor or something on that order.

He doesn't remember ever hurting his wrist or hand. I guess he could have fallen on the playground and forgotten about it. However, that just doesn't seem traumatic enough to cause a cyst.

It is most common in women between ages of 20-40. hmm.

[msdrby]

Hmm, I think that if I want a meal with something other than all carbs in it, I should get myself to the grocery store before too much more time passes.


osmosis amoebas!

LOL! How about some pics of Baghdad Bob as Kerry's official spokesman when making denials to the press: "Jane Fonda was not within 500 miles of John Kerry. This photograph is all a lie created by Hollywood special effects. In fact, at the time this picture of Jane Fonda was taken John Kerry was still in Vietnam--where he still is even today, fighting singlehandedly against the entire Vietnamese army. This is also why he could not have had the affair with this Polier woman, because Vietnam as you know is thousands of miles from Kenya. So these allegations are not true. In fact, Kenya does not even exist. It was destroyed by the mighty Iraqi army, under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, Allah praise his name, and his mighty general John Kerry, who then went to Vietnam to defeat the infidel there. So if the Western news tells you that John Kerry had an affair with Jane Fonda in Kenya, do not believe it. It is all lies--sick, Yankee lies."

[2Jedismom]

Vey strange. Be good to get it checked. I had not heard of it being all that common in children.

[2Jedismom]

See ya later!

[2Jedismom]

I've brilled the thread.

[Professional Engineer]

Looks more like it's floundering.

[Professional Engineer]

I just swipe 'em, LOL. I got that one from a caption osama thread.
