As others have mentioned, your casting wasn't impacted at all that I could tell - the only hint was during the analysis segments where I thought you might not be feeling well since you weren't moving quite that much. (Also, awesome shirt - magenta I think, dark but not black was really cool.)

Always always always have to take things like that seriously - I've had a "little fat ball" in my skin, and it cleared out on its own in about three weeks. I've also had brown recluse bites, which causes a subcutaneous infection - which is what it sounds like happened here. Getting that kind of thing treated hurts like hell. Draining it, then debriding it, it's just no fun at all. Hope you get to feeling better quickly, and that the divot fills in fast.

Glad it's better now and I didn't see much irritation or affect of it in your casting :D

Oh wow, had no idea you had to endure that Rotti T_T

Mad props for being a pro and casting nearly until the bitter end - and (at least some!) shame on you for waiting so long to get it checked!

Seriously, don't take this the wrong way, but I had to laugh so hard when I read this. Haven't read anything so funny as the hospital part in a while. I think as a German it's really funny how you describe the doctor and what he says :D. You should consider writing blogs more often

.

Man props to you for sticking through it and still casting the semis (was still a great cast!), I hope you are better now!

I read this in your voice, and it made it even funnier. Glad everything went for the best in the end.

You make it sound like your doctor was doing a Mr. Bitter impression!

Any chance we can talk you into posting pics?

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, it seems like I'm recovering the way it should be and hopefully within a week or 2 it's all good ;P To answer a few of the comments.

I indeed didn't move to much in front of the tv because twisting my leg could hurt and i didn't wanna make awkward faces haha, so I played it safe~! . The last day I had a lot of painkillers so that might explain why I was a little slow a few times in my cast with kaelaris ;P

And pontius, I prefer to not post the pics of the infection, I think they are pretty grose and it makes nobody happy ;P, i did post 1 pic of my recovery, you can see it at my twitter.com/rotterdam08 its the latest picture i posted, but even this one is pretty narly so I warn you, and I hope you get the picture if I think this is less bad than the other pics, you really dont wanna see them haha, I thought about posting the pic on the final day when my skin wasnt to bad and everything but the ball had grew to what I can only imagine full size, but its also pretty bad but so I just kept it for myself ;P

Am I the only one who read that entire blog post with Rotti's voice in his head? As funny as the story was, that sounded terrible and kinda surreal. Were there any further complications or follow up? That picture looks like it needs sutures. Was this a cyst or an abscess?

I understand Rotti and Mr Bitter close, but casters should not go out of their way to try to out do Mr Bitter's China adventure.

I read it of course also this way

But for me it sounded just a bit unfamiliar, not really surreal.

my doctor said it was a "atheroom cyste" , and theres nothing surreal about the story :D i took pictures from day 2 till the end, even before you could see clear change but i deleted the pics cause i felt it was grose and if anyone would look at my pics theyd be like why is rotti taking pics of his "upper leg area" which is very close to something else ^^ , but after that I realized I might need it to explain the doc how it was growing so I kept them and now i just look back at it and remember the horrible pain and feel happy every day i wake up without it :D

Indeed, that can lead to misunderstandings! Keeping tabs on it actually was really useful for your doctor(s). If something like this ever happens again, it is also useful to draw lines around the lesion/area affected and you can see how something is progressing or improving. One annoying detail with cysts: they often recur and that's because the surgeon/doctor in question was not successful in removing the entire capsule that was holding the cyst. It looks like they were pretty thorough from the look of that cut. If you ever need a follow up in the US, tell them it was an atheroma or epidermoid cyst.

I am glad to see you're doing better :D.
