One of the chiropractors I have served at birth, and have went to for his services--- uses this massager thing on your back before he adjusts the back, to relax you. That is nice, and so I thought, hey, great, I like that. We 'need' one of those. I looked them up on the web and found them for at least 200 dollars, not a bad price, but it would have to go on my *wish* list, not my *need* list. Needs come first around here, and wants take the back seat.
That means it may be a long time before we get one. SO I prayed and said LORD I really *want* one of those, it would be nice. I left it there...at HIS feet.
Then at a garage sale, yep-there it was! The exact massager---This little old lady had one, still in the original box, it was an older model, but worked great-and ONLY 3 dollars! I bought it. (this was over a year ago) -how nice! Right? I am so thankful that GOD takes care of our wants too-not just our needs!
I had a migraine last night. Just hurt so much esp on the right side shoulder. I get the pain in weird places, but have had migraines since I was about 12 so know what I need to do to help relieve the pain.
So asked my husband to massage that shoulder using this last night. I laid down on my tummy and he began the massage. I kept telling him no-the right side, (he worked the left side) finally I was thinking, I might have some relief from this headache.
Then it happened....I felt my hair being pulled out-literately, and also at the same time felt my hair being sucked into this massager--my husband did not even notice (men-they are so slow sometimes!) finally when he did notice--- after I am going...
"ouch ouch ouch...."
he is like-
~"what do I do"
~I am thinking-Really? SHUT IT OFF (I was thinking this-but could not even voice it from the pain)
~so he shuts it off-finally (seemed like a long time, but it was prob only just seconds).
He looked at it and said, he could not even untangle it..not at all-it would have to be cut out.
I told him there was scissors in the bottom drawer of our bathroom cabinet (two steps away) but he lays this huge thing on my back (remember I AM on my stomach) and goes out to the other room to get shears. I think ---really????
Now think about this:
If I roll over, it will fall off.
If I move at all, it will fall off.
If it falls off of my back, it will take my tangled up hair, a LOT of hair, and will just pull it right out of my head.
So with my hair wrapped around it, in the motor, and all---I try to be so still--- so it will not fall off, that way, it will not pull out the rest of my hair...
He takes for ever to bring back scissors--but you have to remember that he was raised when we were told to not run with scissors---so I know, he is not running....as I wait...
Finally he returns and I hear as my hair is cut, each cut, I think there it goes, I will not be vain, but I am sad...I do like long hair, (I guess I am an old hippy at heart)
I had hair down to my lower back, almost, and my hair is NOT thick any more, (older age does that) and it takes a very long time to grow-so what little amount of hair that went that long, is now shorter than the sides-up to the neck. Now it has this huge chunk out of it-right in the middle.
not sure what I am gonna do. Not sure what style I will need to have it cut now...I will not be able to do anything until later this week most likely....ugg. So I will walk around with this strange cut---long-short- long--not sure if there is hair there or not---long -short -long....
UPDATE this morning: I asked him for the massager. He had not re moved the hair that he said was "in the motor". I looked at it, and it was not in the motor-AND I was able to untangle the up to 9 inches of hair...un rolling it from the machine. It unrolled just fine. That means, my hair did NOT have to be cut out. sigh. 9 inches of hair. gone.
