So I noticed a pain in my ankle the last month and thought it was a recurring injury from the one bike wreck I had in Japan. Then one day I noticed a hard lump under my ankle and it turned out to be a cyst. I went to the doctor and they said I could leave it, drain it, or cut it out. I opted to have it drained. So they numbed it, and stuck a plasma donation sized needle (a little smaller than a capri sun straw) into it and drew the fluid out into the syringe. It took two shots. The fluid is kind of a light peach colored jelly. As the title suggests, it had to cc's worth of fluid in it. Quoth the doctor, "That's a pretty big one." Now I have to keep it wrapped in an ace bandage for the next two to three weeks to prevent it from filling back up with fluid. So interesting and very gross.

On the bright side, it could have been a gremlin.
