"Socialize Me!" The adventure continues...

Wow...

That actually hurt more than the piercing even though the dr used a local anaesthetic. The pain lasted longer and was so sharp I couldn't get to my "safe space" this time like I did when I had my nipples pierced back in March.

Unfortunately the heat and huidity and sweat of Fukui led to infectons I could not shake. I went to a skin dr twice then to a breast specialist and got to experience an echo and a mammogram (the lump growing was neither mastitis nor cancer I was informed). He told me that if I didnt remove them (the nipple rings not the nipples) likely they would not heal.

I tried a while longer. In Winnipeg where it is dry they did fine but as soon as I got back to the high humidity and constant dripping-with-sweat Fukui in August both nipple pierces AND my belly pierce (done in January) got infected pussy and goopy/custardy again.

The final straw was when blood came out of the one "good" piercing. I took them all out at the end of August and all the holes closed up. Enough was enough. I gave it the old college try as best I could and have great and sexy and erotic memories of this great adventure.

The only problem is that the infected left nipple had nowhere to drain the pus so for two months it has been building in a sac under my skin. The swelling finally got too uncomfortable to ignore so I came to the Tokyo version of the Saiseikai Hospital (read: big, modern, safe) to have it taken care of. Little did I realize...

The doctor looked, proclaimed that the area was swollen with bacterial pus accumulation and it would have to be cut. He had me lay down on the examination table, swabbed, injected with anaesthetic to the point where the area was extremely distended like a golf ball (read: intense high-pitched long-lasting pain), cut with a scalpel, squeezed out all the accumulated pus, stuffed the hole with gauze, covered it with copious quantities of yet more gauze, and told me to come back on Sunday, Monday, and next Saturday to have it cleaned and inspected.

I look like I've had a mastectomy as I have a definite B-cup sized left breast with this gauze (now I know how women feel with one breast larger than the other - talk about another great learning experience!).

I will get a prescription now and then have to come back Sunday, Monday, and Saturday again for follow ups. That will probably cost less than $5 a pop.

My gotch is soaked from the sweat absorbing the pain. Good thing I always carry wet wipes in my "Doraemon Pocket of Infinity"!

Man that hurt...

Time to go pay... JPY 2730 or about USD $25 only.
....

Now Im waiting in a pharmacy for my prescription... a little sign says, "wait time is about 20 minutes"... but I have a sneaky suspicion it won't take that long. The medicine will be for five days...

I got my medicine in less than 20 minutes and it only cost JPY800 or USD $7.

So the entire process today took me a grand total of about two hours and cost less than $33.
How's that for "socialized medicine", eh?

It's a gorgeous day. I think I'll go eat some food so I can take the medicine (pain killer included... and my nipple stings!) and then go get myself fitted properly for a bra!

Thanks for coming along on this adventure and I hope you didn't lose your dinner in the process.

I love you!
