Another short "vacation"

CMGragain

I'm going in for minor outpatient leg surgery tomorrow (Monday) so I'll either be sleeping or flying on pain meds for the next few days.  Looking forward to getting this over with.  I get to wear those ugly support knee high stockings for the next six weeks.  I can always wear them under long pants.  Ugh.  At least it isn't summer.
I'm not supposed to engage in any activities that "might raise my heart rate" for the next two weeks.  DH is grumbling.
Be good, and no tuxedos in the daytime!

All the best, and take care!!

You can get compression socks in some pretty sweet colours these days, perhaps try for some hot pink?

There are also zip-up varieties that are easier to put on and take off, IIRC.

I want sequins and rhinestones!

But tux's would hide those socks so well;).

Happy healing!

Now DH is grumbling because he thinks I only need one pair.  Honestly!  Does he expect me to wear the same pair of stockings for six weeks?  I should, just to show him!

@CMGragain, hope your recovery is speedy. Absolutely agree that you need at least two pairs (one to wear and one freshly washed to exchange). I looked after a patient who refused to get another pair and they were potent by the time I finally convinced him that they needed to be washed and therefore needed to have another pair to exchange with!

Prayers for a smooth procedure & a speedy recovery!

Hope all goes well and that you heal quickly. What does DH know anyway - I second the hot pink stockings!

Speedy recovery!  When you mentioned those socks I thought the SAME thing.  At least it's late winter/early spring (depending where you are) and not summer!

Whee!  I'm flying!  Percocet is great!  They took almost 2 liters out of my legs.  Ew!  I'm glad they didn't show it to me.  DH was very good at the hospital.  I'm home in bed with my cat, now.  As a plus, my anesthesiologist was drop dead, Hollywood gorgeous!  Nice!  I'm so glad I has this done.  Mother would have approved my spending her legacy this way.  $3600 for decent legs.  I can't wait to wear summer dresses in the south of France.
Thanks for all your good wishes.
