The Story so Far

[Toni_Lynn]

It has been a hell of a 4 weeks or so. Fortunately more good stuff than bad, and now even the bad is rather funny. So, the subtitle of this is ... The perils of underdressing!

4 weeks ago, at 6 AM, I walking from the parking garage to my office. It, being 6 AM, is dark. The street is wet and the pavement is dark. There is no traffic as I cross the street, but good citizen that I am, I use the crosswalk. Oh -- have I mentioned that even though I'm in boy mode, I am underdressed, bra and panties -- hmm girls pants that pass for guys as well as a girls sweater that is unisex. Oh and girls shoes that my wife got for me at goodwill that have sort of clunky heels. So -- to the eye, I'm in boy mode. Anyway, as I cross the street I step in a round hole about 3 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It is an uncovered access thing for a test valve for the gas company. I go tumbling sideways on to the sidewalk, left elbow first then right hand. Incredible waves of pain envelope me! I say several words, similar in spelling to the initial letter and last 3 of firetruck . I lay there for a minute then get up and painfully make it to my office. By 10 AM I am toast, and head off to the doc-in-a-box for treatment.

HORRORS -- I'm wearing a bra! X-Rays! Sweater will come off! So there I am, after painfully making the drive to the clinic, struggling to take off my bra while sitting in my car in the parking lot. Now while this type of situation, taking a girl's bra off in a car in a parking lot is normally reserved to stories of teenage lust, might not seem to apply, I can tell you it truly helped. OMG -- hope I don't have to take off my pants -- or socks!

Shortly thereafter, diagnosis confirmed -- elbow -- small fracture

This meant a sling for two weeks -- HORRORS! -- I couldn't fasten my bra to get it on, it hurts so bad.

My wife had to chuckle at my anguish at not being able to wear a bra. UGH! She thought it a bit comical --not in a mean way -- just that her hubby felt less than fully dressed without his bra

I'm all better now -- mostly - still hurts a bit. But I did get lots of loving care -- and bought a new bra yesterday.

PS -- it took the city a WEEK to put a cover on the hole after I called them twice!

One of those things you'll laugh about in a year or two that was NOT funny at the time! Hope it heals fast and you can get back to normal: a guy wearing a bra!

Oh, man that stinks... I broke my arm and was in a cast 4 a long time

I took a tumble down the cellar stairs once fully dressed. Took me a moment at the bottom for me to check all my appendages, all I could think about was if I had been knocked out, or broke a leg and the parents came home to find me!

Luckily I escaped with some bruises and sore bones!

Hope everything heels quickly!

Toni: I'm glad you got your bra off in time. If I were to worry it would be to have to go to the drs. last minute anh the doc tell me to strip to my waist. I went to the Hosp. in Feb to have a colonoscopy. I had to remove my toenail polish the night before. Don't you know they told me I can leave on my socks.

Great story. It 's tough to not wear a bra for 2 weeks. Glad you can sit back now and laugh at it. It must of been painful trying to take that bra off in your car. I can just picture this. Wow.

I had a dislocated shoulder for several weeks and that wasn't fun either.

I would have sent the city the bill for the doctor's visit! Glad you're (mostly) okay, and bummer about not being able to dress properly!
