Do You remember when shopping for under garments was simple Sharing Some Humor from my shopping Trip..Health Update

Hi Everyone...I decided tonight to share some humor only us women can understand and appreciate and above all laugh at each other as we remember just such an occasion when you felt the same way I did today while out shopping for new Under garments...!
I remember not so long ago, well actually about 3 years ago I went on just such a shopping trip. I decided it was time to clean out the underware drawer. Now we all have our favorites and somehow they never leave the drawer till they are totally unrecognizable... Blushing yet?
So off I went to the store I went to the lady's dept & I walked out 1/2 an hour later with two packages of 12 pair each of Fruit of the Loom lady's Cotton Briefs. One package of White and one package of colors...Simple!  Note I said Cotton Briefs...Well three years later I made the same dicesion!
After my Doctors appointment I headed for the store. My plan was to walk in go straight to the lady's Under garment section and pick out two new packages of Fruit of the Loom Cotton Briefs..and be on my way...
Now this is where the Humor comes into play.... To start with there are four Display Racks 20 feet long and I'd say 5 1/2 feet tall with choices on both sides....all hanging in cute little plastic bags with a hook to hold them to the display rod...Some were on cardboard holders with hooks that did the same..Some hung seperately on a hanger....1000's of Underware!!!
So I locate the Fruit of the Loom Lady's Cotton Briefs....
Only much to my surprise Briefs are no longer my kind of briefs, you know the ones that fit nicely on the top of your hip...... but instead I found what I call up to the waist granny panties....so on me being short waisted granny panties that reach up to the part of the body that wears that other hard to choose under garment...LOL..

Now comes the difficult part what do they call those panties that fit nicely on your hips...
So I start scanning the racks...I've decided I am going to cherish those two packages I bought to day and care for them so they last me forever...
I'm not old or frugle I simply like comfort.....
I mean Good Heavens how many kinds of Ladies Fruit of the Loom panties can there be...
Well let me tell ya there are a lot...
We got Briefs,
Brief Wardrobe Panty,
Cotton Hipsters,
Stretch Cotton Hipsters,
Boy Cut,
No pantyline Boy Cut,
Cotton High-Rise,
Stretch Cotton High Rise Panty,
Fit for me High Cut Cotton Panty,
Cotton Bakini,
Stretch Cotton Bikini and a few more I can't even remember...
Okay I eleminate the Ganny panty Briefs first..then next comes those High Rise panties cause this lady has short legs and short waist so those high risers were more then hip rise they were between the ganny and above my waist...Ok I am now down to only 6 choices...I'm standing there looking at this huge rack wondering ok how am I going to figure out which ones are going to fit me and be comfortable... I finally decide to take down one package of each lay them out and then remove one pair from each package and this should give me an idea which ones are closest to my last purchase...I am feeling like a total fool standing in the middle of the panty section laying out my selections and proceeding to make some sort of choice with out actually going to the ladies room to beg them to let me try them on... Can't do that...

About that time a store clerk woring in that department comes up to me and says having a hard time deciding what is what and what might fit? She smiles at me and says I can remember when we could walk in the store go grab a package of panties and be on our way... Not any more its High Teck to figure out the right ones...and she giggles and me I just bust out laughing....
I've already been in the store now for at least an hour by this time with my elimanating, laying out, neatly removing one of each and sharing a giggle and laugh with the store clerk... So here we are standing there looking at six neatly lined up Fruit of the loom Lady's Panties. At this point my only option is to hold each pair for inspection and sizing them up to my short legs and short waist.
Bingo... I weed out 3 styles right away...I'm down to Cotton Bikini, Cotton Boy Cut and Cotton Hipsters...
I finally decided that It would be one package of 12 hipsters and one package of 12 Boy Cut... Thank God I have finally made my choices...and its only taken me an hour and half... That is rediculous and especially for me who hates shopping for under garments in the first place... Reason #1 that I buy so many at one time...
When I finally made my choices I thought to myself these things best last me till I die and at least till I reach the age of Depends... then it will be easy just go to the store and pick up a package...hehehe...as I rounded the corner to head to the check out with my choices in my hand what do I pass but the Ladies Depend Section....Imagine they now have a Lady's Depend section...
Oh yes ladies they have over a half a rack with many choices of Depends....Good Lord by the time we reach the age we need depends who can think about making a choice and guess what Ms Tonya burst out with laughter at the thought of having to think about that when the time comes....I hear the Store Clerk close by laugh too.... I know she knew exactly what I was thinking as I stopped to stare at the Depends Choices..and broke into hardy laughter... Have a nice day she says as I walk away....with a little giggle in her tone.
Want to bet she shared this little hour and a half story with someone after she got home and thought of the things that made her giggle or laugh today.... I hope she did cause Laughter is good for the soul....!!

I know I have been missing in action at least Posting but I was getting really tired of feeling like I had nothing to talk about but my year long health issues. I wanted to add some humor to your day!
 
I hope that my humor made you giggle too... who knows someday you may decide to clean out your drawers and go shopping for new under garments and as you stare at the rack and racks of choices you might think of me and giggle at the funny story I shared with you tonight...

Today was my doctor's appt with the Hand Surgeon and it went well. I loved Dr. Awan...Great sense of humor and very nice... He gave me good news and bad news all of which I was prepared for and expected.
He explained everything in great detail so I understood and I so appreciate that... My diagnoses is
Dupuytren's Contracture in the two middle finger of both hands..worse in the right hand or course my creating hand...No surprise there! My first finger on my right hand has what they call a Triger finger and it had locked in place..that was why It was numb rubbery feeling to me & why I couldn't hold anything & dropped things all the time. Both hands have Carpel Tunnel as well which is why my hands and fingers were so Numb all the time. As the doctor said, add osteoarthritis to all of this and your right hand especially is out of order but fixable. As for the huge lump on your thumb we can fix that too so you can get back the use of your thumb...
Then he said, has anyone explained to you that your Thyroid disease is what made all these issues worse so quickly?  Yes and No ..more or less I read about it and ask my Thyroid surgeon and he varified. Well I am here to tell you that had you not gotten Thyroid disease and had to have it removed you would have gone on living with most of these things and probably adjusted to them slowly for another 5-10 years but losing the use of your right hand is more then likely due to the Thyroid.
 Damn that Thyroid...is all I can say...
So Today he loaded my hand up with Cortizone shots that hurt like the devil and we talked about test he has to run to find exactly what he has to do to correct these problems..then we will make plans to do surgery to correct what we can..but I want you to be completely from the infection due to the thyroid surgery first so we will look towards late fall...so that is the latest update...

Have a Great Day my friends and I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately but I have been keeping up with everyone's Blogs and commenting....

Blessing to all..
Tonya
