Sucky Fish


This totally happened today:


I’ve been wanting to get one of these for the longest time and they are really cheap here so I figured I would try it. The treatment included a reflexology session followed by the fish eating all the dead skin off your feet. It was INCREDIBLE! The reflexology was super cool too because not only did it feel amazing, but the atmosphere was surreal…like it was a legit spa this time. And it probably was a good thing that the lights were really dimmed because I know I made some crazy faces throughout it all—either my guy was really hard or I'm a huge wimp or he was cleaning a bunch of crap out of my body through my feet because there were some intense moments. Emily, Heather and I were all in the same room--with some other guy getting a back massage off in the left corner. The only bad part was when I had a coughing attack mid reflexology session and couldn’t stop. I was messing up the Zen of that place big time. And of course, because this is my luck, the coughing attack made me fluff a little too so I was stressing, but luckily it didn’t smell and the sound was silenced by my coughing. I can’t really describe what it feels like to have fish suck on your feet—it was kind of weird and I kind of expected to have it freak me out some, but it didn’t and I would/will do it again while I'm here. I am really liking these eastern medical treatments though. And I do feel pretty darn good. A huge part of that could just be the change of situations in my life as well as the six month mark hitting for some of my medications (I guess six months is when you start it see a lot of progress with some of them) but I don’t really care what it is attributed too. Feeling better is feeling better, I’ll take it!!
