goatgodschildToday was good, I think. I took the day off, for two reasons:
1) I didn't know how the checkup on my cyst removal site was going to go.
2) I wanted to get this ongoing issue with my school transcripts settled.
My school has their online Admissions, Records, and Transcripts office open for around 2 hours per week. It is very frustrating, because it's ALSO during while I am getting ready for work. You cannot make an appointment, and the email only gets a form return.
While I wanted to get information on my transcript -- getting it evaluated, hopefully graduating in Spring -- I have put off communicating with them since this summer, as they sent me a message from a non-reply email saying I LACKED DOCUMENTATION. What documentation that was, they did not bother to state.
There are over 16,000 students at this school. They have absolutely no excuse to be pulling this nonsense, especially with how much they tout their online program. Oh well. I spent over an hour on hold, waiting for a Zoom phone call. I was ready to say and do things that I would very much regret. Turns out that the LACK OF DOCUMENTATION they meant was that they only had one transcript of mine, and they needed both in order to evaluate them. I have now sent them my second transcript, and hopefully this will all get sorted out someday.
And now, onto what you've all been waiting for...the checkup!
- I am taking very good care of the hole.
- There was a blobby growth at the bottom of the hole, which appears to be an ingrown hair independent of the cyst. It is being sent over to the pathologist for analysis.
- I'm going to have to start doing sitz baths again (I had not done them today or yesterday).
- I'm going to have to keep taking those stupid antibiotics 3x/day for the next month.
- It's estimated to be another month until this thing heals.
