So. I tried my compression stockings on today.
Correction: I tried to get my compression stockings on today.
I couldn't do it. They are so tight that I couldn't even get my foot into foot part, and I couldn't get the rest of it on past my calf. Then, I couldn't get the damn things off either...so I sat on my bed and yelled out of frustration.
Finally, I ripped the horrible things off and cursed at them.
I'll make another attempt later or tomorrow.
