Helping My Aunt.
My name is Clyde (Yeah, my parents had a thing about old time gangsters) and I am 23 years old. I live in a small midwestern town about 30 miles from the family home I grew up in. I have a decent job, but I'm not rich and am not going to get rich. Still, it's a good enough job for now. Mom and Dad are gone. After mom's uncle died and gave her a small fortune in inheritance, they decided to travel. Now they are in southeast Asia where some problem with their passports is preventing them from returning to the USA. The consulate says that it's just a matter of time while they straighten out a clerical error, but it could take a few months.
Meanwhile, my 20-year old sister, Bonnie, is attending business college in the state to the west of us. My parents hadn't been able to resist naming my younger sister after the other half of the infamous duo. They had thought it was greatly funny to name their children Bonnie and Clyde, but they didn't have to go through life with the name Clyde which had gone out of style some 50 years ago and showed no sign of making a comeback..
I was having a normal Thursday going through the drudgery of routine at work when everything changed. The phone rang.
It was the emergency room at the hospital. They said that my Aunt had been involved in an accident at work and I was needed at the hospital right away. I dashed over to find out that my aunt Jenny had gotten her hand crushed in one of the machines at the factory where she and most of the rest of the town's people worked. She was being life-flighted to the University Medical Center 200 miles away. With the rest of the family gone, it fell to me to be her primary support. After a series of surgeries, Aunt Jenny lost her right hand. They had to amputate just a couple inches above her wrist. There would be a big settlement from the factory's insurance company. She'd never have to work again, but the money wouldn't even come close to compensating for the loss of her dominant hand.
Aunt Jenny was in the hospital for nearly a month being treated and getting physical therapy and stuff. When they let her come home, I brought her to my house. She would need help adjusting to only having a left hand. I helped her manage the medications the Dr's had prescribed and change her bandages. I drove her to the therapy sessions with a psychologist which the Doctors had insisted she attend during her adjustment. Eventually, Aunt Jenny would be fitted for a prosthetic, but her wounds had to heal for several months before a good fit could be made.
One day about two weeks after she came home, I got home from work and found aunt Jenny sitting on the couch rubbing her crotch with her left hand. I have to admit that I just stood and stared for a few moments before making an awkward noise. Aunt Jenny looked up with a start. Her legs snapped closed as she covered her red face with her hand and her bandaged stump. She was obviously embarrassed.
"Oh Clyde. I'm so sorry you saw that. I was just...", she started to stammer out.
I cut her off. "Aunt Jenny, don't worry about it. We're both adults and we have adult needs and desires. I was just a little shocked to see it. I never thought I would see a family member, or anyone else for that matter, masturbating. Well, I guess there was that time I caught Bonnie humping her pillow."
"No." Jenny said, still red as a beet. She looked close to tears. "It wasn't that. Since the accident, I haven't been able to shave properly. It is hard having only one hand. I can't hold the skin tight and hold the razor too. The hair has grown just to that awkward point where it itches like nobody's business. Its driving me mad! I'm rubbing at my pussy most of the day to try and get the itching to go away. I know that the more you scratch, the worse an itch gets, but I can't help myself. It gets to a certain point and I have to scratch. I'm so sorry that you saw that. I would never do it in front of you if I knew you were here."
I remembered when I had grown a beard and how I suffered for days with a similar itch until the hair got long enough. I decided that changing the subject would help this to not get any more awkward than it already was.
"I'm going to get a drink. Do you want me to make you one too?"
"Thanks. I just took a pain pill, so make mine virgin or I might wake up dead. You can't mix alcohol and pills without really bad stuff happening." Jenny replied.
I went to the kitchen and mixed myself a scotch and water. Aunt Jenny's favorite drink was a sweet, fruity concoction made with vodka, so she wouldn't notice a taste difference if it was virgin. I made her drink virgin like she'd asked. I'd heard about what happens when people mix pills and booze and there was no way I wanted my aunt to have anything else bad happen to her.
When I returned to the living room, aunt Jenny was loading weed into her pipe. The weed helped with the nausea that the pain pills caused. I gave her, her drink and sat down beside her on the couch. I had a thought.
"You know Aunt Jenny, I'd be happy to set you up an appointment at the spa for tomorrow. I'll buy you a massage and a bikini wax. You'll come home feeling like a million bucks. And your uh, problem will be gone too."
"Oh, Thank You Clyde. But I had a bikini wax once. Never again. It hurt like hell and I could barely touch the area for two days. I dreaded having to pee, because just wiping afterwards hurt. I'm never going to let them yank out my hair by the roots again."
"SHIT Aunt Jenny! That sounds brutal. Yanking out someone's pubic hair by the roots? I don't know much about this woman stuff, but after what you just said, I don't plan on ever offering to buy a wax for any girl. That is if I ever get another girlfriend. Sue and I broke up about a month before your accident. Hey! Maybe I still have some of that cream I got last year when I got into that poison ivy. I'll bet it would help with your itching."
