is sick, I am tired,
Solstice nadir darkening.
So, I love when orthopedic surgery patients wear this style of underpants. The tourniquet goes over it safely for lower limb procedures, and in men - keeps scrotal skin safely away from the cuff. It doesn't bunch up on upper extremity ones. I don't have to see genitalia, which, after all these years, I've seen quite enough of. A few years ago, I got a pair for myself, in case I ever needed surgery, and yes I did remember to wear them when I did. In fact, I was thinking about them as I laid there on the floor with my broken and dislocated wrist. My mind in that moment went to the practical, getting my pouch to my locker, sending Dylan a message, letting the nurse taking over from me know that I'd already gotten the knee immobilizer for the next patient, that I'd just had lunch and would they do surgery with a block or not, and that I had the right underwear.
Mine are purple. Not all that comfy for a full day working, but very nice in this situation. No wedgies.

Happy Christmas/festival time to you and yours, Zhoen. May your New Year be a positive and happy fresh start.
Love the underpants, especially the fact that they can make life easier for others. At my age I should be wearing them all the time.
Merry Christmas, Zhoen, and I hope Dylan gets better soon.
RR,
Merry Festivus! I got what I most wanted for Christmas, I got tomorrow off work!
Don't worry about the underwear really. I'm only talking about elective orthopedic surgery.
Cat,
Dylan's feeling better, my throat is threatening.
