Okay, so arrived at the VA Hospital at 8am and got in pre-op around 8:30....even though my cyst was on my right cheek bone area, and in the past, I've had them removed while in the Dr.'s office, this Dr. decided he wanted to do this one in the surgery suite...so, off go my clothes and on goes the hospital gown,
then get into surgery they hook me up to the monitors and get right to work numbing my face,etc.... Everyone was really nice and took good care of me.....in about 45 minutes, the cyst was out....(it was about the size of a marble) 6 stitches under the skin, and a very neat steri-strip bandage over the insicion.....got dressed, got my instructions, and out the door by 10am....they work fast.... 
The Dr. said that if I needed or wanted to stop on the way home for groceries, etc...(got me some coffee and lunch) do it now, cause in about 4 hours I'll be feeling this....well he was right.... 
Oh, the bugger was sore, big time....but it was pretty deep...so guess that's why.... Anyways, I'm being a good patient (the wimp that I am.... ) and am taking tylonal for the pain....took a nap this afternoon, and it's doing pretty good right now....I always get myself so worked up about these things....but all's well that ends well...Thanks again for the support....
in no time. carold
Get well soon!
