Today = NO GOOD.

[jeshyr]

Feel like I should apologise for only writing here when I have an exceptionally bad time, lately! Am aiming to be more like splodgenoodles who writes often ... but until then, you have this:

Today = NO GOOD.

I went to the hairdresser yesterday. Thouhht I did pretty good at reminding him (over and over and over) that I couldn't bend my neck the way he wanted but he kept doing it and doing it and I just kept thinking I'd probably be fine and telling myself I was being a wimp. BZZZTTTT .... it was very really seriously NOT fine to hold my neck that way.

Woke up this morning in serious major neck pain and active spasm, plus migraine aura for good measure (for me that's common when my neck is dicky). Physio was available and saw me quick smart, thank gods for a competent physio who practices just 5 doors up the road!!

Physio massage helped calm it down. Now after entire day of hot packs, very very VERY gentle stretching, and extra painkillers (and subsequent antihistamines) it's still very sore but it's bearable.

You know the worst part? MY HAIRCUT SUCKS!!!!

That hairdresser is so very much fired....

(Also he insisted on putting a TON of product in my hair despite me saying 3 times I didn't want him to. I just gave up asking eventually -no energy).

Oh, what. THAT IS NOT OKAY, HAIRDRESSER ASSHOLE! >[

*all the hugs for you, yes~ <3<3<3<3<3* I hope your neck is feeling better soon! D:

[jeshyr]

*hugs* Thank you!! Is much better today.

[tyger]

in the hospital where I was having radiation treatments, i saw flyers on the bulletin boards for hairdressers and beauticians who would come to a person's house, or their room in the hospital. (for cancer patients who had lost their hair, their services were free.) i'd expect people who do that to be sensitive to issues of position, mobility, and allergies to heavily perfumed products. i guess the place to start looking for such services would be in various "support groups".

*lots of gentle hugs*

Ugggh. Every time I get the 'wimp' idea in my head I wake up aching the next day too. >_< Sorry you had to go through that.

[jeshyr]

*hugs* Thank you for understanding!! Is better today thankfully :)

ARRRRRRGH.

I wanna go track down his supervisor and yell at them until he gets told all the ways in which this is Not Okay!

[jeshyr]

Unfortunately he IS the business owner, so all I can do is to not go back :(

Thankfully neck is less bad today by a fair margin, so that's something ... *chants: glass half full, glass half full*

[amethystfirefly]

ugh! I'd definitely complain to the manager about that. -.-

I'm doing better today though, so that's something

[amethystfirefly]

I'm glad you're feeling better, at least. -offers gentle hugs-

[dahliablue]

Oh, that's terrible! He should have listened when you told him that wasn't a good position for you. Getting a bad haircut just adds insult to injury. I'm sorry.

[jesse_the_k]

Finding a decent haircutter ready to work with our bodies as is = TOO FUCKING HARD. I am so sorry you had that experience.

[jeshyr]

Oh wow I love that icon!!! Thanks for the empathy :)

[amadi]

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Here's to your swift continued recovery.

[dragonsally]

Grrrr, I detest hairdresser who just DON'T listen.

I hope your neck recovers quickly hon.

[kitsune]

Augh, what an experience.

Sorry you had to go through that! I hope the neck doesn't give you any further grief...

This is one of those situations in which it woud be useful to have a team of minions to write strongly-worded letters for us. I know the chance of his learning anything from this is slim, but still...
