Miss Tickle

poor Dora

she really is a knob

she is not comfortable where she is

stuck on the front of Skaterina's neck

this gets in the way of her moving around

well, she cant move around

she is stuck

depending on how Skaterina sits

like slumped is one way and up straight is another

when Skaterina bows her head Dora can get

compressed between chin and collarbone

did you know she cd do that ?


shoot phooey

anyway

Dora is itching to go

last night when Skaterina went to bed

when she was settling in for the night

she had a small swish of the herbs

she was waiting for them to do their trickery on the cancer cells

when suddenly Skaterina was aware of gentle itching on all the skin

that surrounds Dora

it was subtle itching

almost like tickling

it felt kinda pleasant

welcoming and positive

Skaterina had just put coconut cream on her face

(not the coconut cream you eat but the face cream from New Mexico)

her fingers were creamy

she gently caressed all the itching.tickling areas

oh how Dora loved that !

she wont want to leave !

ha ha

Skaterina knows that itching often accompanies healing processes

she believes ( and why not ? ) that the itching on the area around the tumor

is the skin itself preparing to stretch, to tone up, to test its mettle so to speak

will the skin be able to stretch enough

when the dead cancer cells are ready to make their

exit ?

an exit

that will be

a grand entrance !

yay

here they are !


this might hurt

it might hurt a lot

we pay with our pain


"no pain, no gain"

shut up, Jane
