In the Butt: Not as Painful as You'd Think

After the cancerous lump was found in my neck last night I went to the doctor today. Turns out I've got tonsillitis! Although the doctor ruled out leukaemia rather too quickly for my liking, I'm very happy I've got a diagnosis.

Because I don't like oral antibiotics, I opted for intravenus. But because the dose is 5ml, too large to inject into your arm, he used my butt (in a nice way). I hardly felt a thing, and certainly not the emotional turmoil, remorse and feelings of guilt I normally suffer after sticking things up there.
