What a pain in the neck!

Okay, I am warning you if you're squeamish I would skip this first paragraph, you have been warned! About Six years ago my doctor found a couple of growths on my thyroid gland, so I got it all checked out and it was all good. But, since that discovery I have to go every two years for an ultrasound and a biopsy, now the ultrasound isn't that bad, they squirt you with cooling gel and press a hand held thingy against your neck, it's not bad at all and quite relaxing. Now comes the non fun part, they tell you to relax as the big bloody needle looms over head, "oh yeah sure I'm relaxed as a day at the beach, I don't bloody think so". Instead I nod politely and as I cringe further into the rustling paper beneath me a tear wells up in both eyes. Now, that the anesthetic is done they can begin with the actual procedure of sticking THREE more needle's into my neck! Not a fun thing, not at all.

Okay, I'm done with my whining and complaining I do realize this is a necessary procedure and it could one day save my life, so its all good. I didn't realize when I was booking my appointments a couple of weeks back that my laser hair removal treatment fell right on to today's agenda, Oh lucky me! It was actually a gift certificate from my ex boyfriend given to me at Christmas, I know what you're thinking, what a jackass "Happy Christmas my furry little one" not quite. I actually asked him for this, as laser treatments can be quite expensive and being half Greek I need all the help I can get in the hair removal department!

I went to the Radience Spa that is in Canyon Meadows, a nice European lady greeted me and told me to whip of my clothes and relax "Oh no not that again!" Now, I actually haven't had laser treatments for many, many years and when I had it back then, it bloody hurt! And the part of my body that I was having lasered is rather delicate (I shall leave that to your imagination) but it went very well and it was quite bearable and only pinched in a few sensitive areas. If you're thinking of getting this done I would definitely recommend this place, they were great, put you at ease and their prices are actually way cheaper than anywhere else.

So, because of my pockey, prodey, icky day I didn't work out, I was actually saving today as one of my rest days as I knew what was in store for me. But back to the gym tomorrow folks.
