LADIES! and maybe gentlemen, who am I to judge?

A little advice, for those who care about that sort of thing: shave your legs regularly! You never know when you're going to sprain your ankle and wind up in hospital having your pasty, hairy calves manhandled by some cute Scottish doctor or other. Hm. *nods wisely*

Also: please be advised that exercise is officially bad for you. Yes. This heinous injury was caused by the ill-advised borrowing of dandywalker's skipping rope, in a halfhearted attempt to not turn into a large block of lard. Won't be trying that again. Good God, and little girls do this sort of thing for fun?!? I was forced to crawl, sobbing (in a strong, quietly resigned sort of way, obviously) across the floor until I reached the phone. Um, and I had to get my mum to take me to the hospital, and when we got there she made me get in a wheelchair. And so there I sat, filled with shame and gratitude in more-or-less equal measures.

But hey! I don't have to go to work tomorrow! Clouds, silver linings, etc.

Oh yeah and I made a Scully icon.

I am sure all doctors, even cute Scottish ones, have seen all manner of hairy legs and don't even think of it anymore. Probably thought you were a posh lady just waiting for the hair to be long enough to have it waxed off at the most exclusive salon. *G*

And as others have said, better to have one's hairy legs manhandled by a cute doctor than an ugly one.

Perhaps walking or low-impact aerobics might be in your future rather than skipping rope. I used to love the latter as a girl but I often wonder if I am still capable...hee. Skipping rope can also hurt when the rope hits you in the face...which is why I never opted for one of the chain ones...heh.

In any case, I hope you are feeling better and can possibly make a follow-up visit to cute Scottish doctor when you're legs are smoother. :P

Please forgive shoddy grammar and improper use of "you're" instead of "your". It is 2:30am after all. :P

I couldn't believe what terrible hard work skipping is. My first go, I had to sit in a chair wheezing for half an hour to recover. I really should have taken the hint. God, I'm so unfit.

Thanks for your kind wishes, my dear. :)
