I don't like TED

At my last Dr.'s appt, I decided to point out my very small and what I thought were very insignificant varicose veins. My Dr. didn't seem to think they were so insignificant. She advised me to take a baby aspirin every day and prescribed me these...

I have to wear them 24/7 to keep my veins from getting worse. Some days I cheat. But aren't they saucy? And super hot. Not as in I'm a hottie, but as in oh so hot I want to cut my legs off. And because they are so super ugly, I can't wear all my cute summer sandals. So, I am stuck in the one pair of shoes I have that are closed toe. Which are green and purple and very flat. I miss my heels!!

So, because I am in flat shoes that don't match anything at all, I feel like I am waddling. I feel like a penguin today. I don't even think that my belly is that big (ha, ha, it's probably huge). But it must be. Yesterday at church a woman said to me, "Oh you just look so miserable and just ready to be done!" Hello! I still have 10 weeks left! I can't look that miserable!

Well, I'll just waddle my way to where the rest of my shoes are stored and hope for cooler weather. Soon.

Oh you poor thing. Those definitley are NOT the most sexy things. I do not envy you in the least. And could it happen at a worse time of year? I mean today was 100 degrees, at least down here in Salt Lake. But still 90 degrees with those suckers on probably feels hotter than 100!! I'm sure you looked way sexy in your flat purple and green shoes!! I would miss my heels too. I feel so weird in flats! Good luck and hope those nasty veins go away!!

Oh, poor Megan! I'm sure you look super cute(Even if you think you're waddling. Go find some adorable shoes and eat some yummy ice cream to stay cool!

I feel for you!!! I guess I can't really say I feel for you because I am not pregnant and not going to be anytime soon but I had to wear those stupid things after I had my surgery. I had to wear one for one week (which was on the non-operated leg) and the other for two weeks (that one was for the operated one)!!! So I just have to say...I was so DANG happy when I didn't have to wear those non-fashionable things anymore!!!

You poor girl. Those don't look like fun to wear. I bet you'll be glad that it will start to cool off a little more - maybe. You are due in ten weeks!!! Where have I been? Good for you!
