My wrist is fucked

So my wrist, it's pretty fucked up. The doctors still aren't sure what it is apparently which is a little bit ridiculous at this stage. They thought they knew what it was but that still didn't explain a few things and when I went back they told me something different again. I've had four different doctors now each with different opinions, the first three slightly unsure of what it was the last pretty confident so I'm gonna go with her view. She took one look at the lump on my hand and knew immediately that it's a Ganglion Cyst which makes somewhat ridiculous that the other three didn't know what it was especially since everyone I've told seems to know what it is. A Ganglion Cyst is basically a bubble of synovial fluid (the stuff between your bones) which is thicker than usual, they can swell up to the size of a plum and are typically right where mine is though they can be in other places too. They're pretty harmless unless they're pressing down on a nerve in which case you really need to get rid of them. The traditional cure is smashing it with the family bible but since we don't have a bible and I'm really not willing to get someone to smash a book onto my hand the other option is to get operated which is not nice. It is only a fairly minor operation though. That's not necessarily what's wrong with it though (I think it is, it makes most sense). The other two options are torn ligament (which would really be cured by now so probably not) or tissue damage (which would cause pain in any other than where I was kicked but I have pain all down my wrist so again, probably not). That leaves the, in my opinion, worst option. I think Weronika is actually starting to feel slightly guilty (and also pretty proud cos her crush and various other people who's approval she seeks are impressed by her "strength" or something like that, I'm not too happy about that one)
