Four years ago I spent Christmas morning in the emergency room with my parents.
Presents and stockings, a hearty breakfast and time of rest with family usually characterize Christmas morning. But a few days before Christmas I began to have a sharp pain in my lower back. And then I woke up on Christmas in an extraordinary amount of pain. As the oldest child that hardly ever complained, my parents knew it was serious. They drove me to the E.R. and we waited to hear what was going on. The doctor immediately said it was a pilonidal cyst. None of us had ever heard of that before, so we didn’t know what was to follow. That initial procedure in the E.R. was excruciatingly painful.
