Uncomfortable

So I'm at work, waiting for my SO to come pick me up. I've had a Bartholin Cyst since Saturday morning (the size of a ping pong ball) It has not been painful, just very uncomfortable. I sit at A desk for 9 hours a day. Well today it is starting to hurt. Not a LOT but enough that I don't want to sit here another minute. So I bit the bullet and told my boss. Which is so very embarrassing!! Luckily its a man and his wife, so I talked to her instead of him. I got an appointment tomorrow to see if I will need to have a procedure or if antibiotics will make it go down. I didnt even know that this could happen! After googling it I am quite fearful I will need a procedure and a drain tube. I plan to sit in an epson salt bath when I get home and keep warm compress on it through out the day. Has anyone ever had one before? Did you know what it was or just a surprised as myself? So I'm sitting here, slightly freaking out and trying not to die of embarrassment since now my boss, SO, mother (we work together) and 2 other female co workers know!!
