I was Bodhi sitting on Monday, another 7am to late afternoon thing.

As always she was adorable, but is becoming quite the task master at times. The amount of times I was told to dance as we watched videos had to be in double figures. Turns out I'm quite adept at spinning, can make dino arms like a pro, but had to admit defeat when I was told to copy her, and she flung her leg up in the air backwards. My body just does not work like that now.

Sadly, it looked like her cyst may be coming back as under her chin is really red and sore. Kayleigh phoned the hospital on Monday and her specialist surgeon was off, but she was told to send in photos. So, she did, and he was back in touch yesterday saying to take Bodhi in to see him asap.

So, they went and

He confirmed the cyst is back and infected, but, thankfully, it's growing outwards and not up so not affecting her tongue. The surgeon was baffled, saying he was sure he'd got everything at the last op, including the cyst sack and really never expected he'd see Bodhi again.

They had two options, she could be admitted on IV antibiotics then have the cyst drained, but as she wouldn't be an emergency he couldn't say when that would happen. The second option, which he recommended, take her home on strong oral antibiotics and take her back to see him on Thursday. He said he thought it would have burst by itself by then, then he'd book her in for scans to see what is going on that it has come back. Sadly, scans she'd have to be knocked out for.

So, that's where they are now, waiting for the thing to burst and back tomorrow.

Poor little thing, we all really thought this whole thing was over, but it seems not.

Someone recced a vampire AU 9-1-1 fic recently, maybe dine? and I've been reading it for the last few days. It's a long one, over just over 107k split into three chapters, so I've read one chapter a night. I was sad to finish it last night, but the writer has lots of other stuff to check out. All My Shattered Oaths.


Nikita and Layton are dancing an Argentine Tango on Strictly on Saturday. I may not survive this.

So sorry to hear that Bodhi's cyst is back. It sounds like it's not as bad as last time? Hopefully they can get it treated for good.

[turps]

Yeah, the doctor said it's just above marble size this time, so nowhere near as bad. I just hate it has come back at all, especially as she's so much more aware now.

Aw, Bodhi :( When I was a kid/teen I got cysts a few times, they are just so brutally uncomfortable :(

[turps]

They do seem uncomfortable. I really hope this time they can manage to get rid of it completely.

[anotherslashfan]

Oh no, poor Bodhi! Hope that there's a good and swift solution to be had this time around.

[turps]

I really hope there is a swift and good solution this time. Everyone, including medical people, are shocked it has come back.

[dine]

oh man, poor Bodhi! I'm sending all sorts of good vibes that way that the antibiotics work, and they can figure out what happened, and fix it permanently soonest

I'm reading some 9-1-1, but don't think I've read that one. but now I shall have to! *g*

[turps]

The antibiotics must have kicked in a bit as the cyst did burst and the infection has eased a little. But, at the hospital today she was given five more days worth and they go back next week to see what happens next.

It's a good story and kept me entertained for a long time. I'd thank whoever recced it, but really can't remember.

[doomdays]

Aw, poor Bodhi! I hope this time they can get rid of it for good!

[turps]

I know, I feel so sorry for her having to go through everything again.

Everyone really did think it was gone for good.

[jacieleigh]

Aw, poor Bodhi! I'm sorry she has to deal with this... AGAIN! I hope they can get ride of it for good this time. *hugs*

[turps]

I still can't believe it has come back. The surgeon was convinced it never would.

[frausorge]

Oh no, I hope they can figure out what to do for Bodhi to truly take care of it once and for all!

[turps]

She really has gone through it.

But, hopefully, they'll get answers today.

[spikedluv]

I got a chuckle out of you not being able to copy Bodhi's move. *bg*

It's horrible that the cyst has come back! I hope she doesn't need surgery again.

[turps]

There wasn't a chance I could copy Bodhi's move. She was lucky I managed the spins *g*

Yeah, me too about the surgery. The cyst did burst yesterday, and Kayleigh sent me a disgusting photo to show that. They've been to the hospital today and she's on another five days of antibiotics and they'll discuss what happens next when the infection is all gone.

[turlough]

Sounds like you're getting quite a work-out on your Bodhi-sitting days :-)

Oh no! That's awful that the cyst is coming back!! I'm keeping everything crossed they will be able to get it completely removed soon.

[turps]

Work-out is right. I was surprised I didn't hear, dance, Terri! in my sleep that night.

The returning cyst was such a horrible surprise.
