return of the overshare
for those who don’t know, i have somehow acquired a case of hemorrhoids. i would venture to say that it is perhaps the worst case i’ve had in my life. coming from a life so rife with gastrointestinal problems, this is quite a feat.
my best theory is that when i had tonsilitis last month and the doctor put me on the strongest antibiotics known to man which subsequently fucked up my entire digestive system and forced my whole stomach to invert, i somehow irritated my digestive system and the area “down there.”
so since i stopped taking the drugs and the constant diarrhea has stopped, suddenly i’ve got itching, burning and *gasp* bleeding. not fun.
i’ve been trying to weather the situation, luckily i had some tucks medicated pads on hand, but after a week, the damn thing was still causing me angst. so i decided i might have to invest in some preparation H.
(on the phone in the buttcream aisle at Ralphs)
me: oh man, this stuff is expensive. it’s like, 15 bucks. should i get cream or suppositories?
jason: i don’t think i could stick something up my butt like that. what happens to it once it gets up there?
me: i don’t know. i always assumed they just dissolve or something. fuck! why do they have to put the security device over the usage instructions! that’s not good!
jason: …
me: guess i should just go with the cream.
(at home)
me: fuck! you mean i got the suppositories??!?
i discovered that suppositories are just little bullets of cream that you shove up your butt and leave there. so yes, they do just dissolve after a while. they’re actually much more fragile than i would have assumed. the first two got smushed as i was trying to get them out of the foil wrapper and i just made a huge mess. this morning i reapplied, or reinserted rather, and it went much more smoothly.
i’m happy to announce that i can easily find my butthole.
you know, i’m really scared to fart while using these things.
