    The rest of the story.....another day or so in the life of being Robin. 

    Last night I could not sleep as the pain and discomfort got really bad. Woke up this morning telling Party (Pattie) I was going to the ER. After some spirited discussion, she convinced me the Doc in the Box was the way to go as they had Image equipment. Party made the appt over the web and we arrived at the designated time. The trip was highlighted by my crawling into the back of a Subaru Outback (face down)  with the seats folded down. I took advantage of rolling out the wife’s pink yoga Matt, in hopes it would soften the surface. Not so much. 

    At Doc in the Box......I Told the female doc the story (with circles and arrows....) and was told to drop um. She summoned a witness on her side and opened the crack to find a cyst, that was draining. Wife in the room so I guess we met mutual legal precautions. Doc was not able to deal with it and suggested we go to the ER.....well chalk one up for the patient.

     So some hilights of the day:

    * wife pulls into Chic-Fil-a drive thru with me laying on my stomach in the back. They had there order expediters out and I believe she was scratching her head after we placed our order. Picture a 260 lb man laying in the back of a car wearing pajama bottoms and a tye dye.....not matching of course. 

    * We got to a surgeon (Office) and in right away. After talking about pain Managment (or limitations I should say), the nurse gets me all prepped. Doc walks in and tells me “this is not going to hurt hin the least bit”. I couldn’t see the humor of that ... at the time. After some really stinging shots and some painful proceedure...the pressure and pain was signifantly reduced. 

    * Doctor told me I needed to get some feminim pads and place in my boxers (on the back side) to capture the drainage for the next week. Do they come in any other color than pink? 

    Unless there is more fun that comes as a result of this expierence....I will close the thread. Appreciate you all laughing with me, at me....and the stories you have told. It’s helped pass some otherwise long days. 

    yall be cool

    I've been following this and really feeling bad for you, until you complained about the Pink pads.
    Sorry man, I have tears running down my cheeks!  (the small ones)
     
    Great story, and I hope you're back to doing sit-ups very soon!

    The dreaded anal cyst doesn't sound very fun!   You have about 24 days to get right.

    Along with that new skill-set you may want to become ambidextrous with that move in the event of a future arm/shoulder injury.  Sounds like a true spring training opportunity  =)

    Out of an abundance of caution I would avoid shaking either of Robins hands in the near future. Just a simple nod of the head and “sup” will suffice.

    Unless someone were in to that kind of thing.  You know, like those from Tennessee. :)

    Thanks!

    Be glad there is distance between our residences....though I am certain your bill would have been over the top on pure principal. You were safe on this one as there is no way in hell I was gonna ride in the back over to Georgia. As it was, Party found every last pot hole and bump in the road in the Columbia area. You guys deserve every penny you charge if you ask me.

    Did she back over some of them, by any chance?  Or maybe take the “scenic route” to the doc?

    That, and on the ride home (sitting this time since I had Butt deadening).... took a few turns at stop lights on two wheels. Must have been wearing off. Was ready to walk home.
