Tarkblog

A quick update on the last story

For the next few days, my treatment of the previously mentioned condition, goes something like this:

Twice a day, I clean my tarkhole with some medicated wipes containing witch hazel.

Then I proceed to rub on some prescription creme containing a steroid that is supposedly to help make the bulbous sacks of blood around my anus go away.

What’s interesting about all of this? Nothing really - other than I learned that witch hazel has nothing to do with witches, but actually comes from a plant called witch hazel of which the “witch” is a derivative of the word “wicker”.

If by Friday they haven’t gotten better, then I’m not sure what to do next. I’m thinking about trying the “lance them with a needle” method and seeing what happens. The doc also said that I could have them surgically removed, but I’m not keen on that unless they become a big problem. Also, he told me to be glad they’re external, as apprently internal ones require a larger scope to be stuck way up inside of your butt to visually inspect what’s going on. He said that it’s like the finger method, only a whole lot less fun.

Wonderful.
