My first in 12 weeks!
No, I was not trying for the smelly-street-guy award. Sponge baths, as much as they suck, will keep you fresh and clean.
I'm being treated for non-venous edema in the lower legs. Think calves as big around as your thighs. I get to wear Una Boots

Until this week I'd get them changed twice a week. Sort of like braces, but on your legs - tighter this time than the last time. Drive the evil fluid out! But the only time they would come off was when they were being changed, and you are not supposed to even sweat in them, let alone get them soaked.
So I got permission to undo them and take a shower before I go in for today's session. Oh, Bliss! Oh, Joy! Oh, 45 minutes of hot water flowing over every part of my body!

As soon as the VA stops screwing around and cancelling or losing my order for compression stockings I can go to using them for the rest of my life. But I'll be able to take them off and stand under the shower until the hot water runs out!

Now that I've put visions of my wet, slippery nekkid body in your mind, y'all can go have breakfast.
stay safe.
