I came up with a swollen summer fashion solution, for today at least. Wear compression socks at home with my nightgown as I clean and lounge in the privacy of my home.
When I get ready to go to the outdoor function, the socks are definitely a no-go with jean shorts and a tank top- remove socks and wear regular ankle socks with tennis shoes.
Repeat compression socks when I get home. Minimal swelling, no public judgement. The tall tacky socks go perfectly with my tacky nightgown (cute campers and yard flamingos). D hasn't batted an eye. It works.
How uncomfortable are the compression socks? Been thinking of getting some preemptively but worried about the heat and also them being really uncomfortable and then me never wearing them.
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable, BTW.
They're actually comfortable. I went to a medical supply store and they measured my calves and ankles. I got a lower to medium compression. When I don't wear them my shins hurt and my ankles are puffy within a couple hours. ;) Thank you.
