So I Got Electrocuted Today...

I went to a sports medicine place for my arm. They electrocuted me -- specifically, they attached small electrodes to my arm and delivered low levels of electricity in an attempt to relax my damaged shoulder muscles.

"It's gonna feel like ants crawling on your skin," said the female aide who assisted me. "I'm gonna turn it up higher and higher and you tell me when it gets to the point where you feel like you just can't take it anymore."

Uh....oh....kay.

It felt odd, but not uncomfortable. I sat there with these little electric pulses running all over my shoulder, just staring out the window at breathtaking downtown Houston.

The treatment occurred in a large room with several chairs that looked like they could have belonged in a dentist's office. As I sat receiving my treatment a handsome looking young man in his very early 20s walked in and sat down in the chair facing mine. He took his shirt off and the aide attached electrodes to his shoulder, just as she had done with me.

The boy also took his socks and shoes off, and that's when it got weird. The aide straddled the end of the chair facing him and proceeded to rub his feet with some lotion as both the boy and I were getting electrocuted. The aide was young and quite attractive, and I found myself wondering if the young man was nervous about getting his feet rubbed by such a cute girl. However he simply immersed himself in a book about Lance Armstrong.

All in all it was quite a weird experience. I kept waiting for Dennis Hopper to come in and start doing some weird sexual thing in front of us but that didn't happen.
