Just my luck

Like the saying goes....."If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." I should have that quote tattooed somewhere onto my body, just to remind me on the days that I forget.

Yesterday I went to the spa (but before you hate me, it wasn't for anything luxurious or enjoyable). No....let's just say I was there for a treatment that involved lasers. So to lessen the AGONY of the laser zapping my beloved skin, I was given a hose that blows out very cold air that I could aim at the area being treated. In my defence, I was lying down with dark goggles on to protect my eyes from the laser and had my head down (imagine sunbathing, but add in some unbelievably excruciating pain and you'll get the picture) so it's not surprising that I let the cold air hose droop and sort of lost track of it as it froze a spot on my arm the size of a golf ball. And I mean froze. Frostbite frozen. If I thought the laser hurt yesterday, I had no idea what kind of hurt I had coming today!

Dino had a good chuckle (glad someone's laughing) and said it could only happen to me. I go in for one thing and leave with a completely new problem. So not only does my laser treated spot hurt, but now I've got the added bonus of a huge bright red swollen and bulging patch on my arm and the feeling that I got hit with something like a flaming cannonball. I'll just bet it'll scar too.

That'll teach me......
