Well, at least it was quick. The injection was probably the most unpleasant bit, although when the surgeon said "Oh - it's burst" that came in a close second. I now feel as if I have been slapped in the face with a wet kipper and the stitches on the inside of my lip feel like a large hairy spider that has taken up residence in there.
It's not too bad now, as long as I talk through gritted teeth like Clint Eastwood ... feeling lucky, punk? Apparently the swelling will get worse over the next two days, so I might have to substitute a Marlon Brando impression tomorrow ... :-)

Thanks punky - it was a mucocele which is a blocked saliva gland that forms into a sort of lumpy cyst. I'd had it for about six months and it was getting pretty painful from being bitten all the time, so it's a real relief to be rid of it.
So is it more swollen today, doll?
Not too bad, although it is sore though. Nothing that paracetomol won't cure, fortunately.
