I'm just a girl...

Some of you have already seen my post with pictures of all my pole injuries. Now add a new one to that list. A really painful, bad rug burn...on my shoulder! Practicing pole work in a carpeted room certainly has it's advantages, what with the soft carpet to land on if you make any mistakes while attempting new tricks. But it also has disadvantages. And how do you get pole burn on your shoulder you might ask. Lets just say it involves hanging upside down from the pole and trying to gracefully come down first onto your shoulder and then gently twisting over onto your stomach.

The burn is pretty bad, still red and stinging even though I did it last night. I put a disinfectant on it this morning and it's all bandaged up under my shirt. I sure hope it stops hurting soon. Ow...ow...ow dammit ow!!
