A fun little surprise as I was shaving last week... I discovered that I had a nice little patch that I had missed for a while under my arms. Perhaps a little unpleasant to talk about, but it made me laugh embarassingly at myself.
My expanders are under my pectoralis muscles, which is inserted at the clavical/shoulder and extends across and down my chest. Since this muscle is raised (more and more each week with expansion), when I now lift my arm...there is a muscle "bridge". The muscle raises more now, so that I can't see my whole armpit now.
I used to be able to see my whole armpit when I raised my arm to shave, so out of habit I was just shaving only what I saw and I thought I got it all. Now I am realizing that I can't just shave what I SEE! I need to look under the "bridge" and shave in the unseen pocket area too! That is a TOUGH area to shave! Imagine trying to shave inside of a small bowl. No flat surface when my arm is raised up forming that bowl...and I have to raise my arm to be able to access that area to shave. I'm trying to figure it out!
Anyway, I "apologized" to Dr. Ferguson on Friday for having this unkempt spot. I "insisted that hygeine is actually pretty important to me". He just knowingly laughed.
