Expensive hair
This morning I went to a doctor to get my left foot checked. It had been hurting in one spot for a few days, and yesterday I noticed a black dot there. I figured I had stepped on some piece of wood or something, but it was completely located under the skin and I couldn't remove it myself.
Well, turns out it was a sturdy hair a bit longer than a centimeter! Under my foot sure is a strange place to grow. What sucks though is that to remove it required a 5-minute surgery that set me back ¥13000 (that's the 30% I have to pay after insurance)!! Ouch. I might have been happy with that if they told me it was some unknown foreign piece of metal or an alien chip.
Now it still hurts, but hopefully within a few days it will be back to normal.

Soooo, what happens when/if it grows back? Sounds painful regardless...

I just hope it won't. I haven't had any hair under my feet before. :) It wasn't very painful, but enough to annoy me a bit every other step.

Reminds me of that scene from "The Fly" when Jeff Goldblum first discovers those insect hairs growing out of his back.

Oh damn! I hope my case won't get as bad..!

Wow,
I was pretty sure this could never happen. A friend who is a doctor told us this at Sylvester that nobody has hair on the downside of a foot and on the inside of his hands - I believed her. Now I know better. Hope you have the hair in some glass covered by some liquid like old grouchy man store their renal calculi :-)
Hope you get better soon - you need to hunt more records for Tokyo Recohan.
