Freakin' Saddle Sores are Expensive!

OK, I ain't gonna lie! As much as I have been wanting to ride my bike lately, I got a freakin' saddle sore. I guess that is what it is cause I never had anything like this before. 3 months of the bike then I did a comeback ride of 30 miles. I actually felt fine on the bike, comfy on the saddle and all. But maybe it was too much for my baby tender groin skin. I did return home and hesitate taking a shower as I was excited to load my info into Strava and blog. big mistake, I should have taken a shower right away after a comeback ride. My goodies weren't conditioned like they were last time I rode. :-(

I rode Saturday but on Wednesday I felt something wrong down there. F#@K!!! It's a pimple and some sore swollen tissue right next to my huevitos! I made the mistake of putting some Neosporin on I then went to work all day. Didn't think the grease would affect me the way it did. By the time I got home, I was hurting. Something was wrong and it hurt. I knew then my weekend ride was out as much as I wanted to ride having a new helmet and all.

So the weekend came and it still hurt. So dang it, the ride is out but I decided to take Gina to Laughlin for the weekend instead since I couldn't ride. Mistake! I should have stayed home on the couch watching TV with my nutty buddies in the air healing.

It was 104, hot and we were walking and walking. Nice and fun till my pimple or whatever the heck it was decided to get irritated. It started to grow and soon the skin around it felt like a pregnant lady's belly getting ready to rupture. Ouch, that stretched skin feeling is never fun!

So I hobbled around the casinos as Gina played the slots. I don't gamble at all so I just sat in the lobby, watched her at times, went all out and ate 2 pieces of pizza. BTW, the eating habits have been great over the last month and I'm feeling great, down 2 belt notches!

But we were in Laughlin and I was splurging! Well I thought I was till Gina told me she had lost nearly $300. Holy crap! I love a certain purse I see at Macy's all the time, $280. But great leather and really nice, not like those plastic Coach crap purses. I saw it on Friday before Laughlin and told Gina we ought to buy it for her since she loves leather purses. She said no, she didn't want to "waste" $300 on a purse. So I said then maybe I'd buy it for her. She said no that she would not let me spend that kind of money on a purse.

Umm OK! So we go to Laughlin, she plays the slots and gives away $280 to the casino.  Here I thought I was splurging money on 2 pieces of pizza! Holy crap Gina, and that is fun for you? She says yes with a smile! :-O

$280 down the drain and right into the slot machine. I'll never understand the thrill but she had fun!

So now my pimple/sore is really hurting, probably even more after she told me how much she had lost in the slot machine. :-P

The drive home was a bit rough feeling like it was stretching out every time I adjusted my butt in the seat. But later at night, it really started hurting and even came to a head rupturing. It was actually a relief for me, the loss of pressure. But it was nasty, I was actually straddling the bowl with one leg up on the seat draining into the bowl. It started bleeding and I was applying pressure near to see if that would help drain it. Nasty, it's like now I know what it's like to have a period ha ha!

Great, 10 pm Sunday night it decides to rupture. So I'm up till 2 am trying to nurse it. Yeah, nasty but what a relief. Wondering if I need to go to the doc or just stick it out hoping it was nothing serious like my liver failing and forcing puss out through my nuts ha ha!

Ah so much better now and what a relief. Very little discomfort now and I can walk with a straight leg again without having to take every step like I was trying to step around a toy left on the floor.

Well I really missed riding and it cost a few hundred bucks to find alternate entertainment. Hmm! Next time I get a saddle sore, I'm staying home and saving the money. :-P

  A couple pics I took of Gina in the casino. How she can smile after losing nearly $300 puzzles me!



Breakfast!  A good reflection of my marriage. She has 3 forks, 2 knives, and about 5 napkins while I have one fork! :-/

Just kidding, Gina is an amazing giving wife!


Of course she gambles for fun but I manage to get my thrills one way or another! :-P
