still taking sit baths while recovering from my latest breast surgery, I decided to jump into the shower and use the newly installed 'shower hose' I insisted that my hubby install .. while scrubbing I notice purple lines under my right breast (surgically breast) and I scrub .. scrub .. scrubbed .. Oh my, I can't get that purple ink marker off my skin .. okay after my shower - I'll use rubbing alcohol .. cotton pad, after cotton pad .. no purple .. so I lifted my right ta-ta .. and turned on every light in my bathroom .. and noticed it was not purple felt marking pen .. but -- Purple Bruising - 3 stripes under my right breast .. Boy, did I feel .. stupid!

    With all that rubbing, I hope you didn't bruise yourself more than you were. Ouch.
    I did the same thing with the bandage tape...thought something "new" was on my port scar and asked the nurse about it. She looks and gently rubs and it comes off. Felt stupid too but laughed at it.

    Yeah, it way beyond one of my shy blond moments ....
    seriously, couldn't figure out why the ink would not go away .... and yes, it did hurt when I scrubbed or rubbed .. Again, just another Blond moment for me.

    My evil twin, Nikki has been at bay .. floating in the water for a while, I think she is resting up for her next adventure .. which as time has proven - will come soon, right before the holidays .. So watch out!


    hahahah

    I did something similar
    I did something similar after my lumpectomy. I thought I was rubbing on tape marks but they were bruises. Gosh, and I'm not even blonde. LOL Nikki/Vicki, a page right out of One Life to Live, wasn't it? I remember it was between All My Children and General Hospital. Vicki Lord Buchanan ... and her evil twin. Well, I love an adventure so I will wait patiently and see what the next episode brings. LOL
