The lump on my inner thigh had grown to about the size of a football. No kidding.
The operation that was impossible in New Hampshire was routine at Mass General. They kept me overnight. Stitches will have to stay in for a month but I'm already much improved. Pain currently can be managed with Tylenol.
Looks like I'm getting my life back after 10 months of searching for a solution. Only took 5 hospitals and about a dozen doctors.
The sad thing is that I'll have a nifty foot long scar that I can't show anyone without exposing my dangling unmentionables. Scars are like tattoos but with more interesting stories.
Family and friends have been a great help.
