I’m feeling uncomfortable. Physically and psychologically. And what else should one do in such a situation but share it with any and all? I’ve already written about the color of my pee, so why not this?
As alluded to last week, I’ve started weekly electrolysis. Today, I’m having my left thigh done. So I went and slathered my leg with numbing cream, wrapped it in cling wrap, and donned exercise shorts. When I walk around the office, I’m paranoid that people can hear me rustling under my clothes. (Reminds me of once when I wore a sanitary pad and spent the evening dragging my feet on the floor in hopes that if my male roommate heard the rustling that I heard, he would think it was my feet.) And then be bold enough to ask about it. At which point I’ll be forced to explain that I’m the hairiest person in the office. So that’s the psychological discomfort.
The physical discomfort stems from having wrapped my leg a tad too tightly. I tried to loosen it, but have you ever tried to loosen plastic wrap? So you know how that went.
ooh, sounds painful. You poor thing!
