Sometimes I don't understand my body 

    I have not worn pants for six weeks, except for an hour here or there.  I have been wearing lounge pants.  Now, most people call them pajama bottoms, but they are listed as lounge ware in the finer clothing catalogs.

    Why do I wear these?  After the surgery, it was tough to wear a belt and a fixed waistline.  The lounge pants were expandable, flexible, roomy, comfortable.

    I had three pair.  I was going through those pertty quickly.  I ordered a couple of pair that were on sale and noticed a huge difference right off the bat.  The new ones were heavier, fit looser, and were more comfortable.

    One pair has Bigfoot going through a forest in an unending pattern.  I wore them to physical therapy and my therapist went wild!  She loved them and wished she could get some for her husband.  The next time I went, I did not wear them and she was disappointed.  

    All of that has nothing to do with understanding my body.

    I wore pants all day today.  I pulled the belt tight, but not too tight.  All day I was fine.  I went out.  Walked around.  No problem.

    At 8:45 tonight I was doing dishes and my pants just fell to the floor!  I hiked them up, walked into the living room and they fell again!  So I pulled the belt one notch tighter and that helped.

    This is not the first time I have experienced this.  After 8 p.m. my belly seems to shirnk. (Beth, stop laughing.  I am serious.)  The belt length that held my pants up all day is too loose at about 8 p.m.  Weird.

    Also about that time, I itch like crazy on my chest and belly.  Every night.  Some nights I take a Benadryl to stop the itching, some night I just scratch.

    In bed, my feet suddenly start burning and itching and I spray with Lotrimin, or something along that line.

    Any logical answers would be appreciated.

    I think I am built wrong....because my nose runs and my feet smell.  Should be the other way around.

    Watch out for snow and ice tomorrow...could be a major problem in our area.

    Stay safe.  Stay home.  Stay in a mask.

Peace and Love
