Title: Pain in the A--
Post by: tony on July 21, 2007, 12:53:44 am

Had a lump - in an embarrasing place
It would bleed - fix - then two days later, bleed again
Went on for weeks - My mind was full of "Skin Tumour?"
"post Rad reaction ?" - "the meds ?" - "we`re going to die" etc etc etc
Then a week back hanging up the trousers
What do I see ?
The metal safety pin from the dry cleaners
- EXACTLY where lump and blood was coming from
every time I sat down it must had dug straight into me...
Dont know if to laugh or cry...
lucky it wasnt 2" lower I guess...
Best Regards
Tony

Thanks - but no - it was a safety pin
The moral here is (for me at least)
is Dont Panic ! - and dont jump to conclusions....
Best Regards

Tony:

Thank you for the laugh.  Sorry about your arse. 

At least you diagnosed yourself instead of a doctor saying:  Tony, I think you have been sitting on a pin......take the pin out of your pants and you will be fine.  ;D

Can you imagine what a doctor would charge for that diagnosis?

Hi, Tony:

Thanks for the amusing account of your pain in the tush.   ;D

I'm glad it was only a pin - and that you found it on your own.  Now, aren't you glad the internet is anonymous?    :)

I decided, on this occassion, that a photo
was probably not appropriate ?
I am sure you will all agree...
Best Regards
