To me, an injection is something that I look at with mortal fear. Every time the doctor advises one, I go through a total state of fear and restlessness till the ordeal is over. And it's for this reason that I admire women. Their eagerness to have their ears(though the enthusiasm on their part is debatable as the exercise is carried out when they're babes in arms and therefore, do not have a choice, perhaps!), these days even ear lobes, nose and belly buttons(for the flashy, though) perforated has surprised me no end and continue to do so. As I'd said earlier, it amazes me that anyone can go through pain only to adorn ornaments!
Today, it was Lekha's turn to go through discomfort on this score. Her stud on the left ear was troubling her for the last couple of days. When the jewellers were shown the recalcitrant stud, they'd suggested medical intervention to retrieve it as she'd managed to screw the stud's key onto the soft flesh surrounding it. Probably, her fingers were unable to appreciate the actual extent to which it was being screwed in, thanks to a lack of sensation at the extremities!
The doctor had retrieved it, applied a soothing balm and has advised her to avoid wearing the stud for the next one month. Consequently, she sports a small bandage around the tip of her left ear lobe!
Tailpiece.
The upshot of the incident is that she's reluctant to attend functions where people would be conglomerating. No amount of my telling her that there would hardly be anyone who'd be bothered about the fact that she's not wearing her studs has had any effect. So, attending them would be a solo performance on the part of your's truly! And there're quite a few lined up, much to my discomfort!!
