And I'm not really happy about it!
First of all, I'm sorry for the sudden blog spam. I just needed to get this cleared.
Some of you guys were curious and asked me what I was getting surgery for.
For those I told that I was getting surgery anyway. I'll spill my guts and tell you exactly what's going to happen.
The Diagnosis
I have something called a Pilonidal Cyst growing in my rear end.
…
Erm, please try hard not to laugh, it's embarassing enough that I'm telling you this.
This is rather serious. A Pilonidal Cyst can occur from an Ingrown Hair. An Ingrown Hair can be caused by exessesive sitting. Especially if your bum is hairy and it mostly occurs in males between the ages of 15 and 24. The cases can vary between slight and severe.. in which cases, the slight, mild cases can be eliminated by anti-biotics, whereas the severe cases can only be cured by surgical removal (my case). Sometimes it can be known to be tumorous and it can continue to grow unless it is removed.
The surgery itself has to be careful. If they perform the surgery the incorrect way, my chances of getting a cancerous tumor can skyrocket.
My Problem With It
Well first of all, I'm female. That in itself is rare for a female to be getting one of these cysts.
Secondly, I think it's highly embarassing to have your doctor tell you that for a girl, your butt is pretty hairy if your getting this cyst at all and suggests that you use Veet to keep it from happening again.
My butt is hairy…?
MY BUTT IS HAIRY?
…
This is so…so…humiliating.
*Headdesk*
F.M.L.
Thirdly, the surgery is taking place in the vicinity of my rear end. That makes me very scared.
*Fetal position*
Lastly, they said after the surgery, they have to leave the wound open for some reason. I dunno what the doc said because I spaced out on this part because I was so sleepy, but.. I won't be able to sit or lay on my back for a month. Which means:
-I can't work. (FUDGE!)
-My back is going to kill me.
-I can't move at all.
-Can't go out either.
-I'll have a giant gash on my arse.
-It's probably gonna hurt like a motherf***er.
Pictures?
Sure! But I wouldn't recommend it. They're so horrible, I won't even post them. Just go to Google and type in "Pilonidal Sinus".
I warn you though, you'll need a strong stomach.
Boy, I like using headers.
That about wraps it up. If you want to know more go here.
Wish me luck. Lord knows I need it.

BE BRAVE D8 ILY!!!
Good luck!
Good lord. I can’t even laugh, one of my friends had this and he couldn’t move for 2 weeks. It sucked.
Good luck with everything, hopefully it’ll turn out for the btter and you’ll be able to be up and about in no time.
Yikes.. sounds painful. I wish you the best of luck. Don’t worry, it’ll be gone in no time and you’ll heal in no time too.. then it will be all over. You can do it. ^^
My sincerest regards, Jaz, that sounds (and probably will be) excrutiatingly painful. Hopefully the recovery won’t take too long, or things could get annoying, not being able to lay on your back. Seriously, how are you expected to sleep?
Anyways, be strong Jaz, you’ll get through this somehow.
HOLYCRAPPINSH:DTF:)CKS.
Hope you get through okay, yah.
