I
have been having trouble with my right leg since Thanksgiving Eve
finally getting to my primary doctor on December 2 who sent me to a
minimally invasive surgeon on December 5 who immediately sent me to my
vascular surgeon. He in turn sent me to the Memorial hospital for 5 days
where on the 5th day he cut into my leg to get some of the blood out.
(I will not get into the fury I felt having to miss the opening night of
the touring company of "We Will Rock You"--hey you have your priorities
and I have mine! LOL)

So far it has been diagnosed as: 1) a blood clot  2) cellulitis  3) a hemotoma and now 4) Lymphedema--the
latter for which I will have to buy compressed stockings which run
around $83 a pair! Can you see me taking pictures modeling those?!?!

In
the meanwhile the left leg started to swell up which didn't make me
happy! I was now home with a big bandage around the leg and feeling a
little funky so I wanted to take a shower but I had to keep the bandage
dry. Ladies you always read in the Ladies Home Companion to greet your
husband at the door just wrapped in Saran wrap--well I hope it works
better than wrapping clear wrap around a bandage to keep it dry!

Living
in a residence for seniors I put out a cry for help--heck there isn't a
person among the 299 others who haven't been through something you will
go through! Very quickly Shirley replied with a "Seal tight cast and
bandage protector". She had used it when she had a cast on her arm but
as you can see it works fine for a foot, too. (And, no, it does NOT look
like a big condom, as some have suggested!!) It is/was a perfect gift
for anyone who has to take a shower and still protect an arm or leg. It
works/worked fine--Thanks again Shirley. Talk about Christmas gifts!!! I
don't know how much longer I will be needing/using it but it is
available to anyone who finds themselves in the same kind of jam!

Wait til you see the other 'gifts' I got for having a bad leg.
