A question for after surgery

[Dody 0]

There is an old saying in the nursing field that "Cardiologists and Neurologists Think They Sit In The Right Hand Of God". The rest of the Jerky doctors are scrambling for a spot in the left hand. Yes, a lot of them are jerks. I like my cariologist, but when it comes to my scar and the pain it causes me he brushes it off. It's embarrassing to be out in public five years post-op and have an itch between your boobs, and it never stops itching. I asked him if I should consider plastic surgery and he said "if anyone gets that close they aren't really going to care about the scar"....so much for sympathy. I have huge scars on both upper legs as they couldn't find enough veins in one leg for the bypass. I do believe the janitor stitched them as well. Although they healed, they are ugly to the max and if I lost 100 lbs. I'd never wear a bathing suit because of them. They border on grotesque.

I have to second the slip-on shoes. I wore these butt ugly but totally comfortable shoes called Crocs everywhere I went for the first week. Heck, I have them on today with my jeans. I don't even know where my tennis shoes are.

(And thanks, Morsaille - I'm down 39# as of this a.m. but I don't know how I know that, because I'm certainly not weighing myself compulsively )

I just got my summer sandals from Crocs in the mail. They are cute as all get out. Because they have an open toe they don't have the big wide foot (like Sasquatch) on them. I'm going to order some more at Zappos.com. I like the Metro style. I live in either my Crocs or Birkies.:hititbanana:
