Dear Dr. Aaron,

Well, this is about as embarrassing as it gets. I was shaving my legs in preparation for the big boating events. Things were going fine until I decided to get fancy and make sure I didn’t miss any stray hairs. This required me to twist, bend, and practically stand on my head in the shower.

Somewhere between "contortionist yoga pose" and "Cirque du Soapy," I realized I was… stuck. I couldn’t straighten up, couldn’t finish the job, and was pretty sure my hamstring had signed a resignation letter. The worst part? My phone was just out of reach, so I had to wait for my husband to check on me. He’s still laughing.

Can you please put me back together before the weekend? Also, do you happen to offer leg shaving safety classes? Asking for… me.

"Dear Bent, Busted & Barely Boat-Ready,

First of all, I’m relieved you didn’t take a razor to the rescue call. Second, you’re not the first patient to come in with a ‘boating event injury’ before even getting near the boat.

We’ll get you straightened out and walking upright again—bonus, I’ll throw in a posture refresher so you can spot those stray hairs without auditioning for a circus act.

Call the office today… and maybe let the boating crowd admire your smile this weekend, not your hamstring flexibility."

Always here for you,

Dr. Aaron
