i think i have bed bugs. i don't know if it really, but i definitely find myself itchy on the back of my neck. and there is a bite on my arm. it's a bit annoying since i have a bad habit of scratching. what's worse is that Fort Worth is really dry. in fact, it's been below freezing multiple times but since there is no humidity, skin will crack like french bread.
suffice to say, i'm using lots of lotion to prevent the itchiness to eat away at my mind and i cut my usually long nails to unusually short standards. but.. it's not working really. i still feel the sensation of pricks and tears on the surface of the skin. JEEZ!! looking at the swelling on my arm, it resembles a BOOB. the nipple is where i was bit and the C-cup sized swelling just looks redder than a beet. *which turns your pee red.*
so while i'm on the level with my ailments, let me tell you story.
so while on the topic of hospitals, a classmate was talking about his friend working in the hospital. not sure as a nurse or lab tech, but it doesn't really matter. the story is about a big black woman that was raving on one day. she went into the minor emergency saying "get these vines off of me!! get these VINES off of me!!" well, bunch of nurses went up to see what was wrong but she was uncooperative because she had these invisibles on her. maybe she's crazy?
so they do a check up on her. well, turns out that this woman's uterus had collapsed. for guys who don't know the female anatomy, the uterus is the woman's womb. it expands and contracts during childbirth. now that i've got that image burned in your brain, imagine the uterus being deflated. now this woman wanted to keep it from collapsing so she did what any normal person would do. neglect to go see a doctor and STICK A FUCKING POTATO IN HER CUNT.
yes.. this woman stuck a potato in her hoo-ha to keep her uterus in place. though, if you know a little about potatoes, they grow in damp, dark environments. hence, some odd month later this woman would be in the hospital saying "get these VINES off of me!!!" technically she should be saying "get these vines OUT of me!!" but.. the way my classmate told the story to us, we were laughing our asses off in disgust.
well, happy ending, they removed the potato and treated the woman.
now i'm going to jump in a tub of moisturizer and sleep. Happy New Year of the Rat everybody!! :3 *chu chu chu*
