OK, that's funny! I got a bunch of them last January after my back surgery.

 

[scootr]

Yeah, those or knee high compression socks to get the blood back up from your feet.

I call it "Hospital
Swag." They will let you keep all manner of other things if you ask them. I have three urinals. And they are very useful being repurposed to mix two stroke oil to gas ratios.

Seems like only yesterday I had more of these in my sock drawer than socks!

They also make great gravy ladles!

That's not so bad.

Here's my story.

In the hospital, I forgot to take the lid off. Same result.

My experience was worse...the opening was waaaayyyy too small.

I had to take my own catheter out, but you guys have me beat.

Pa didn't like walking around with a catheter and pee bag strapped to his leg.
He would insert and take out his catheter 3-4 times a day.

Always said you were a big d-ck.

Damn. Move over Chuck Norris, that’s one tough dude.

That's what his DR. said. He just shrugged his shoulders and said if you're comfortable with it.
Pa did survive the concentration camps so a little rubber tube wasn't aboot to scare him.

YKYO when you realize your body is not a Temple.
It's a haunted house. It's falling apart and makes weird noises.
And it contains an old person who's always mad at something.

I've heard more say, "who's that old guy in the mirror?" Still young of mind, but the face shows some wear and tear.

Anthony Michael Bourdain said, "Your body is not a temple... its a Carnival Ride."
I subscribe to that.

I'm actually less mad than I use to be. And god help anyone that thinks they are going to rob me or anything. They have no idea what they walked into.
