I mentioned a few weeks ago,
that I am now allergic to band-aids; that is concerning to me: I have been
using band-aids to cover the metal shanks on my jean waist bands (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/10/shabbat-smiles-lake-hike.html).
I can’t have any metal
touching my skin. Anywhere on my body; if the metal doesn’t burn my skin and
actually tear the skin away (like jewelry, and my glasses hinges), or
make my earlobes swell and ooze (like pierced earrings do) … metal
touching my skin causes a rash in the immediate area of affected skin, that
nearly drives me crazy with the itching (like my jeans fasteners do).
No metal at all,
on my skin.
And now – no band-aid
adhesive in my skin: but, I’m going to do a length ability
test in connection to my shoes (where the backs rub my heels), because
I don’t wear my shoes as long as I wear my jeans. I may be able to skate by
using band-aids on the backs of my heels for an hour or two 😉
But the band-aids are a {no-go}
when it comes to being a buffer between the jeans’ fastener shank, and my skin ☹
So, yesterday, I forced
myself to stay home and got started on {doctoring} the jeans I am currently
wearing – the whole 9 ct. pile … and that went so quickly, I did all
of the rest before day’s end 😊
How many, you may ask, is all?
21 count.
I have 3 stacks of jeans: my “fat” jeans (I wear this pile when I put those extra pounds on – this pile gets its wear and tear in the Winter months); my “skinny jeans” (this pile is my normal weight stack by starvation measures – according to doctor's assessment; they were bought following my bump from Wife to Widow, in the Winter of 2018 – I’d lost 30 pounds doing death watch: they still look kinda new. I started eating again in the Spring 2019); and my “in-between” jeans pile … the stack I doctored first, because they get the most active duty as my weight yo-yo’s 😉

Now, Monday … and every day following, I’ll
be able to comfortably wear my jeans, again 😊
