Okay folks, here we go.
Got back from the Wound Center yesterday. I have been put in UNNA boots (see definitions HERE and HERE ). Basically my legs look like a WWI soldier's legs. I know, SEX-AY!
The doctor I saw yesterday looked like a heavier version of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I am not sure how I feel about that. I think he is a great actor, but I don't know if I want Capote touching me. He might have to be on my list of people not allowed to touch me. I might have to make that list. It worked for my big brother.
Anyway, I am now walking around looking like the Mummy, at least from the knees down. From the knees up, I still look like me. I don't know which is the better angle. I go back next week to get them cut off, and possibly have fresh ones put on. The big problem is that while I have them on, I cannot shower. I can only sponge bathe. Now I can get clean enough doing that, but it isn't the same. Unless I can convince Wifey to pick up a nurse's outfit and sponge bathe me, it isn't the most enticing proposition.
BTW - I know that the Ronnettes got me a gift, and for that I am very thankful. I don't know what it is yet, but I know it exists and I am touched by it. Not touched by them (not yet, heh heh heh), but by the gesture. I am hoping that the gift entails something Nurse-y. A man can dream.
So really not much else to say, but I wanted to fill you all in on the fun and frivolity that is my life and legs. As always, any questions/comments/concerns can be forwarded to the usual channels. Happy weekend everybody, and if you know Wifey, go see her new play. It opens tonight.

from the 2nd link "Do not wear constricting garters or other tight garments such as tight knee-high boots, girdles, or overly tight panty hose."
ReplyDeletedoh! no more Bond & Dom De Luise?
Well, Wifey won't be getting any "fashion shows" anytime soon, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I can't wear my girdle. I cook waffles on that every weekend!
What? OHHHH, that's my GRIDDLE. Don't I feel silly.
But the panty hose ban...
Cool! New shoes! Leave it to a woman to see the upswing ;-) How long do you get to wear the boots?
