Feeling vulnerable
At what time did you feel the most vulnerable ?
Mine was last year on the day of my open heart surgery. There was something about lying there at 6 amnude with the prep nurse coming at me with a razor to shave 'nipple to nipple" and ' neck to belly"not that I lost more than a couple dozen hairs then. But when he went lower and shaved away my healthy cropof pubes and the inside of my legs " just in case" Ended up they did not need to do anything other thanmy chest. They replaced the bad valve and i got on the road to healingthat is mine what is yours?
Many years ago I had a gangrous infection in one of my testicles - and had to lose it. A week later, I had to have some surgery on the other one to tighten up the sack to prevent the same thing happening in the future. (yes allthe hairs down there had to be removed with a "wet" shave)
After that again, when I was in the convalescent ward, thisattractivered-headed nurse came in armed with scissors to remove the stitches. Not only was I feeling very vulnerable, butI knew her as well, having worked in the previous summer months as an auxiliary nurse - and she was in the same ward as me!
(Yes! She was very very careful about removing the stitches!)
