Taking a bit of time off

I had minor surgery on my left hand today. I bump appeared
a couple of months ago on one of the joints in my middle
finger, and has recently become inflamed and sore. The
doctor diagnosed a "synovial cyst". He gave me a shot of
local anesthetic, and used a huge syringe to try to aspirate
it. However he punched through the other side, and ended up
just using manual pressure to force out the contents of the
cyst, then gave me a shot of cortisone to help reduce
swelling. So now I'm icing my hand, not getting much done
at the moment. He says it may come back...or not... ;-}
