Crazy scenarios that might happen......

Fiona -

I don't have any stories to relate, however, the fear you have is the same one I have.  As a result I don't underdress when I go out as much as I would like to.  The closest thing(s) that have happened to me is being in the gym locker room changing and forgetting about my toes being painted (fire engine red) and my legs being shaved.  There were others in the locker room at the time but I don't think anyone noticed.

Hi Fiona,

Once I forgot I was wearing earrings and walked into the office with them on.  My secretary was shocked to say the least.  I babbled a weak cover about my wife having some fun at my expense but I don't think she bought it.  I swore her to secrecy but who knows how many people she may have told.

Hugs,

Michelle

Hahaha! You named the one thing that actually happened to me a few months ago...

I was sitting at a red light after a night of errands (late night shopping, groceries, walmart) literally less than a 1/2 mile from my house, and whamo, got rear ended by a drunk driver (who actually fled on foot after the accident). I didn't get hurt, but my car got totaled. Multiple people asked if I was okay etc and stayed with me until the police came. Even when I called 911 to report, the dispatcher on the line kept calling me ma'am. Ma'am are you alright. Ma'am you're going to be okay. Ma'am, for your safety don't get out of the car until we get there. Ma'am we're on our way.

So even through that all, I stayed in Carmen mode. LOL.

Anyhow, police arrived, I handed them my license, registration, etc. and surprisingly, they didn't act any different towards me in any perceivable way. Treated me like any other person in an accident. They called me ma'am the entire time... well, one referred to me as Miss. I don't think they batted an eye to be honest.

Silver lining is I got to upgrade Carmen's car (a sporty little 2 door that I bought specifically for her) to a much more mature wagon.

Hi Fiona

To you and anybody else who has this fear.

Nurses, Doctors and Paramedics are professionals, and confidentiality is every bit as important to us as it is to Lawyers, Psychiatrists and Priests.

An old saying when you come into hospital ‘leave your dignity at the door’. At some point you will probably be naked poked and prodded and have things inserted or removed, at your worst and showing your best to struggle to recovery and discharge.

I cannot guarantee your red panties wouldn’t raise some eyebrows but you would not be judged or treated differently. Yes you would  be embarrassed but always take with you the fact you are doing nothing wrong, “yes they are my panties, do you like them?”
You can bet the staff in the Emergency Room will have other more important things to deal with like keeping you alive.

Well thats good to know Bianca! I must admit that with me getting out more the fear is not as bad as it was prior to me leaving the house for the first time, however, it is always at the back of your mind!

With Love, Fiona xx

Wow! what a story and for me that would be worse than the accident!! Glad you got through it all ok, thats the main thing and also nice to see that the Police treated you with dignity and respect too. Thanks for sharing Carmen.

With Love, Fiona xx

Hi Fiona I've never been pulled over by the police when I've been driving while dressed, if i go out driving when I'm Roz i seem to be more careful in my driving so as not to be pulled over i don't speed and i take my time deciding where to go, plus i only go driving at night when I'm Roz people can't tell who you are in the dark X

Sorry you have been poorly Fiona, glad you are fighting fit again.

Hi Michelle, Hmmm, i can see how that could be awkward but kudos to you for thinking up a good excuse!!

With Love, Fiona xx

Hi Suzanne, yep, i can relate to that one! Same, went to the Gym, got undressed and realised i still had panties on, thankfully though, i also had gym shorts on too! i went in the swimming pool as normal but decided to shower and take my shorts and panties off but hide the panties in the shorts. I just put my trousers on commando style!! and beat a hasty retreat thanking God i hadnt been noticed.....

With Love, Fiona xx

I am up and down with this thing Bianca, one day i'm ok and the next i might feel awful. From what i gather, a lot of people have had the same thing but it doesnt test positive on a covid test. There are some really weird bugs around at the moment.

GG girl friend says Honey, don't worry. They're gonna cut your underwear off whether you're wearing tighty whiteys or satin pink ruffled panties. Don't worry about that.

And I wasn't expecting my ARNP to see my dark red toenails.
Just said, "There's something you need to know"
She was completely cool. We had a sort chat about how I was letting this out after abusing alcohol to hide from my self inflicted shame.

She leaves. Her nurse comes in.
Same admission.
Tells me of a discontinued OPI color she loved.
I find a China Glaze equivalent for her Christmas present.a
In between those visits, I come in for a flu shot.
She hands me a clipboard with release forms.
Sticky note on top
"You Don't Know Jacques" OPI
Busted out laughing.
Why?
"I saw somebody wearing it and thought it would be a good color for you, so I asked them what it was."

Feared nightmares can become dreams of a lifetime.

Hi, Fiona, I’m glad you are back.  I was thinking this morning that we hadn’t had our fix of Fiona’s thought provoking posts in a while.  I’m glad to see you are OK.  Sorry, I don’t have any stories, because I’ve never been out yet, but I’m sure this post will fill me with scenarios that will scare me to death and keep me in the house.  😳

Fiona-Ann,

I had covid back in July. After feeling pretty sick for a week and taking 2 home covid tests that read negative, I felt better for a few days then it came back. I had a PCR test then that read positive. I found out that the home tests are notoriously unreliable.
