And So It Goes…
Well, it turns out I’m the proud owner of a pilonidal abscess. Go ahead, look it up — everything about it sucks. How did I find out? Oh, the fucking infection just literally exploded out of my tail bone last night. I’d explain more, but I mostly just don’t care to, and definitely have no sense of humor about the whole situation. And you know something has to be really, really fucked up for me to not have a sense of humor about it.

Dude I had the same thing and had to have it surgically removed like right after high school
June 28th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
Was it fairly straightforward? How long did it take to heal? Do you have a scar?
June 28th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Yep, not too long, of course

I was determined to find pictures to see what condition your ass is in and the internet does its normal wonderful job of making me thankful that my ass isn’t rotting or whatever the fuck I’m seeing in these pictures.

The master of brevity himself. Yeah so go get it taken care of, cause it’s not going away on its own.

My other comment is awaiting moderation!

Hey man, sorry to hear about your illness. Of course these things have to happen at the most inopportune times, making things even worse. Hope you get to feeling better.

Im pretty sure my ass never looked like that

Those pictures are after surgeries of extreme cases of this condition, not the condition itself. My ass looks like I fell on my tail bone and it’s bruised, not like I have a flesh-eating bacteria.
Still, the infection draining itself last night was pretty gnarly, and I did spend about two hours in an emergency room.

Damn dude, your ass is rotting!
haha, nah, saw your last comment bro. Still, damn, that has to suck (I almost typed “a real pain in the ass” until I thought about it).
June 29th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Sorry Bill, that sucks, and I’m sure you wouldn’t have been bitching this much if you weren’t actually in a lot of pain. Get better then come back to Casper and drink beer and watch cops.

I can’t drink beer on these antibiotics. T-Virus. As soon as I’m off them, we’ll have beer. And as soon as I can sit, we’ll watch Cops.
I would say 90% of the pain is gone, now that the infection asploded. I can now lay face down in the middle of the road to recovery, and sometimes on my right side for short periods of time.
June 30th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
T-Virus WHAT!? dude i’m sorry cause i might smack your butt and totally forget your injury
June 30th, 2007 at 2:17 pm
I know deeseeseedideedaResedeentEvol.
Yeah, before I left, Amanda couldn’t seem to remember that I was injured and dropped me a couple times with a smack on the ass.
At least I can punch you back if you forget. In the mouf. In fact, I should punch you for that bullshit injury or no!

chris was telling me about your situation and told me to check out your page. i, too, had that happen to me in highschool but didn’t have to get it surgically removed. the doctor just had to lance it open to get everything out of it and it healed fairly quickly. sorry to hear about it though…it sucks ass, i know!!! but hey, i’ll buy you a donut to sit on…those are always fun.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:49 pm
“Sucks ass” made me want to puke. Please take the time to choose your words wisely. I’ve talked to several people now who have had this happen, or knew somebody who had it happen, and I don’t feel like such a mutant anymore.
The stupid thing has quit bleeding now, and I’m just about to the point of sitting like a normal human being. I’ll be home in a little more than 24 hours.
What a rad vacation!
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:24 pm
your still a mutant to me and thats all that matters
i love you woofy
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Don’t even bother coming home if you can’t drink beer. Jesus Bill, what do you think I pay you for?
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:04 pm
I have to take two different kinds of antibiotics, a total of 5 pills a day. I’m lookin around and I don’t see any biotics! They won’t come NEAR me! Extremely effective.
Pretty sure I’m supposed to finish this whole bottle off. There’s enough in here for 6 more days, then we can be friends again.
July 5th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
Change of plans… err, no, change of lifestyle. Now we can’t be friends until you can go jogging. So go buy some running shoes, then get your asshole sewn shut, or whatever you need to do to fix it, then come over so we can drink beer and go jogging.
July 6th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
You jog now? Drunk? I don’t think I…what?
