Yeah.
This was my 2nd substantial stint.
The first was ages ago.
They allowed me to go to a long needed doctors appt yesterday.
The relatively nappy nurse engaged me in small talk while the doctor proceeded to ram a device very similar to a "kong" chew toy up into my nether regions. He was telling me something about staples and skin tags as I was recovering from the violation feeling the lubricant he used ooze out of me, he handed me a extremely well illustrated copy of "My hemorrhoid book" and walked out. I remember during the procedure (the kong one) the nurse saying repeatedly "Sir, could you please not hold your breath, and try to relax" then he gouged me with his fingers up into what felt like (but was hopefully not) my chest cavity via my fecal exit. Thus, I get to look forward to another surgery after my first (6 years ago in Memphis with a dull scalpel, a Phillipino doctor in alley off of Beale street). After I recovered from the trauma, I found mention of the stapling procedure in my "book" and it showed a smiling person giving a testimonial about a reduction in flare ups and swelling, etc. And a diagram whereby they place 2 staples deep inside me that cut off the blood flow to the swollen vascular skin tags that hang in and out of my rectum. After the blood flow is diminished it reads: " the skin tags will shrivel and oftentimes fall off". Now I am not a NASA scientist, but this sounds a lot like castrating a bull. By fall off I am sure they mean turn black and rot off.
I will be sure and keep all of you updated.
I just started my grief and loss class with the alternative sentencing program in Colorado. It is most likely the least enlightening way a person could spend their time. Just minutely better than doing straight time.
