Porcupine Polly

Ever wonder what is feels like to be a porcupine? I think I'm beginning to know, as my head is starting to feel slightly "porcupine-ish." My scalp is extremely sensitive; it kind of feels like tiny little quills are  embedded in my head. When I lay my head down, I feel my quills poking into the pillow, disturbing my ability to relax and go to sleep. When I'm outside and the wind blows my quills, it hurts! My doctor says  this sensitive scalp condition is a sign I'm getting ready to lose my hair. Frankly, I'm a little worried that my quills will suddenly start shooting out like darts, flying through the air and impaling whoever is standing nearby! So word to the wise - Don't stand too close.
