Feste and his needles and scalpels were in action again on my upper butt cleavage. I went to see him this afternoon due to a Pilonidal Cyst that had recently returned. I originally met Feste about three years ago for “The Original Cyst” (Sounds like a classic H-wood horror film…). He fixed the old cyst and I wrote a rather long story about the experience. Feste ended up finding the story online many months later and commented on the blog. Since that time, he has become a good friend and has been a fixture on Juggernuts.

Anyway, my cyst returned just before I am go off on a 10-day business trip. Just my luck… Last weekend I sent Feste a text message to see if I could get a prescription for an antibiotic to fight this new cyst and head it off at the pass. The last time I felt one coming on, we did the same thing and it quickly went away. Not so this time. It kept getting worse and worse and I began to feel that it was going to need a little surgical artistry performed upon it.

This morning, Thursday the 4th of December 2008, I contacted Feste’s new office and scheduled an appointment for some intervention on my callipygian cleft (Thanks Limeliters!). I had to arrange a ride since I take the bus and managed to get El Spouso to leave work and take me to the commuter parking lot to get my car to drive down to the expected slicing and dicing. I had no fear or loathing of this procedure because I had been through it before when I didn’t know what the problem was. This time there was no scary wondering what it might be…

Upon arrival at Feste’s new office, it was quickly noted that he has moved up in the world! This place is grand, new and bright. It’s a temple of surgery with granite counters and high ceilings. After filling out the duplicative new patient paperwork I was called into the bowels of the temple into a room containing a power surgical table and some stainless steel bits and pieces. The nurse told me that “the doctor” would soon be in and I waited for the brilliant bohenian butt bisecting beer imbiber or to arrive.

Once he got in the room, he took a look and the suspect cleavage lump and decided that it was not as bad as the original one. That was clearly true but this one ended up yielding a good couple ounces of red green brown gel like liquid. It actually looked like a slightly stirred shot called a “Bloody Brain” which is made from strawberry schnapps, Bailey’s and grenadine. Before the jelly juice was to be extracted there was the matter of the rather large syringe containing some sort of all-important deadening agent. The injection hurt a little but the worst pain was definitely the multiple high pressure cleeve squeeze to force the thick yucky goop out.

Well, it’s about an hour since I left the office and things are still quite sore. I think it will be OK though and Feste will be looking at it again tomorrow to make sure things are well prior to my trip.

This is just one more saga of Yarbz travel complications…

Jigga, I guess now known as Jason, is wearing a sling for the next 6 weeks or so. He had triple quadruple triangulated extra mangulated shoulder surgery recently so he is incapacitated. He’s going through physical therapy which appears as though it’s going to be long and hard. In about 26 weeks docs are stating the he will be back to normal. ‘Normal’ however is in the eye of the beholder. It will take far far longer for him to be normal if ever. As for the shoulder, he’ll be back to action in the late Spring, just in time for Harley season. This image is taken at the coffee place at Small Cubicle Insurance Company.

Somebody dropped off some fudge in the office here at Small Cubicle Insurance Company. I fought the desire to eat it for several hours and then ended up having three pieces. It was not bad but I was trying to stay away from sweets… thanks for whoever brought it in.
