What we do for love

Some of the potential side effects of Botox injections include: Anxiety, back and facial pain, constipation, indigestion, sweatiness, fatigue, severe allergic reaction, eyelid swelling, irregular heartbeat, paralysis, migraines, seizure.  (Oh, and duck lips, but I guess that’s not so much a side effect.)
Get liposucked and you may find yourself dealing with infection, slow healing, severe fluid loss, allergic reaction to the anesthesia, blood clots, fat clots, skin damage or burns, nerve damage, organ failure. I’ll keep trying the eat-less-and-work-more route, thank you very much.
Taking Viagra may cause headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, urinary tract infection, abnormal vision, diarrhea, dizziness, rash, decrease or loss of hearing, anxiety, amnesia, priapism, bleeding and seizure. All this for a woody? Seems ironic that you spend your teen years praying it won’t happen at the wrong time and your later years wishing it would happen any time. (Not that I have now or ever expect to have this problem, doncha know…harrumph!)
I’m not trying to belittle the feelings of people whose self-image is so low that they feel compelled to seek medical relief. But damn! I just hope the view is worth the climb.
