Psychotomy

No no, i mean tha literally, basically.

Apparently I have a “pilondial cyst” which got infected. Her words upon seeing it were comforting and reassuring. “Holy CRAP! That’s HUGE!” OK, not so comforting, and not particularly reassuring. But otherwise :o

She then commented “well, at least we won’t have to cut it, it’s already draining” followed IMMEDIATELY by “hrrm, guess I spoke too soon. It’ll take all day to drain through that little hole. Gonna have to cut it.”

No anaesthetic, b/c apparently the needle would’ve hurt as much as cutting, and been perfectly useless. OUCH!!! So she cut and drained it. Gave me a barrage of antibiotics, and I’m supposed to take 15-20 minute bathes 3-4 times today. Going back tomorrow so she can look at it cleaned out and not oozing.

If I’m lucky, it’s just a cyst and i have the option of surgery to get it removed so this don’t happen again. If I’m not, it’s a rectal absess or something, and i need major surgery so they can take a piece out of my ass.

Oi.
