Body woe #1: Back in my mid-20s I used to waist train, i.e. wear a corset almost round the clock. I've discovered that I can't wear one when I sleep anymore and expect not to have to pee in the middle of the night. Apparently my bladder can't take the squooshing it used to. Either that, or I fall back asleep less easily than I used to.

Body woe #2:
When I was taking cipro for my infected prostate I noticed a certain... irritation in my anus that was consistent with everything I'd heard about a hemorrhoid. Weeks went by, and it only got worse - but not monotonically so. A day or two would go by wherein things were hunky dory, then my ass would be lit on fire. The friction of a lot of walking (Hello, Bigpuppy!) or riding a bike, which I haven't done in a couple of weeks, made it worse.

For a while it felt like something like a sharp pepple was lodged in there. There has been dark discharge, and even a little blood.

Well, Nibs finally nagged me into seeing my doc. He didn't see anything with his equipment and referred me to a specialist. In the meantime,though, my butt is better than ever. You see, he had lube on his hands when he poked around in there. That may have made a difference.
