I am sad to say that after having a belly ring for more than 10 years (why do I feel that dates me somehow?) that this past weekend I removed it. My belly is naked.

Quite some time ago my belly began to reject the ring and then stopped and that is where it hung on, barely.

Greg and I looked at it and figured it was only time that the ring would get caught on something and get torn out and I'd scream in pain, lose the ring and no doubt have to get my torn belly stitched up. So to spare myself this mess, the ring was removed.

It is very weird having a naked belly again. It looks very odd to me. So plain now. A lil bit sad.
