Rub A Dub

[diaperwerx]

...as i became more dubious about the dx (diagnoses). The light turned green and we headed towards a brighter Christmas. How was I going to get all my presents wrapped with my foot in this state....Tom and Sara will have to help...just then the light turned green and we sped back to my flat...

where I managed to find another bottle of wine which I shared with my friends. I noticed a lot of looks between the three of them and was beginning to feel left out when they...

(dw, try and keep up - Tom's history! he dumped Jessica)

...or at least, Sara, put her arm around my shoulder and said "Jess, we're worried about you, before we go out to lunch can you and I.......

have a little chat. I just want to ask you something. I nodded slowly, and leaving the other two we headed up to my room. I went to sit on the bed whilst Sara closed the door. "Jess" she started...

[DollyDiaper]

....."Please don't be upset or embarrassed, there is no need to be, I'm your friend, remember. I think you need to get changed before we go out to lunch. Maybe have a nice shower to freshen up, you've had a hectic morning, after all. I can help you keep your foot dry in the shower. And heavens above, how many times have we shared bedroom and bathroom space together!? There's no way either of us could possibly be embarrassed after all this time. What do you say?".......

I looked at her for a minute. Then I said 'Thanks Sara. Thanks for offering to help". She went downstairs to tell the other two what was happening, and I got changed into a dressing gown. When Sara came back up we...

...kissed. She was so soft, her lips like tulips....bending under the pressure of my touch. Then she helped me limp to the shower. And I remember how much it hurt and how much of a friend and companion Sara continued to be. Next thing I remember there was water gushing all over me, I must have slipped but where was Sara...

[Sunshine2585]

I thought. Then Sara was suddenly there. I carried on showering. When I was clean Sara helped me out of the shower and handed me a towel. She then left me alone to get dry. A couple of minutes later I was glad I was alone when...

[DollyDiaper]

.....I found myself standing in a puddle, and knew it couldn't be water from my shower, as I'd already dried myself. I just stood looking in disbelief, how did I not know this had happened? So this is the reality of what the doctor was telling me this morning and.....

it was right there on the floor. Just then I heard a knock. "Jess are you alright?" I heard Sara call. "Is your foot still ok?". I ran to the door to stop her coming in. I didn't want her to see what I had done. "Jess" she said worriedly...

[DollyDiaper]

...my instinct was to tell her I was fine, no problem, I'd be with them as soon as I was dressed. But suddenly I felt so vulnerable and I needed my friend to reassure me that everything really would be fine. "No...Not really Sara, I think I need some....

help" I said. I moved away from the door and opened it. Sara came in and I quickly shut the door. "Jess what is it?" Sara said, not seeing the puddle. I was still wrapped in my towel and I just hugged Sara. She hugged me back...

[DollyDiaper]

...I slowly drew away from her, pointing at the floor. Sara looked momentarily puzzled and then I saw realization light her eyes. Without a hint of pity, she hugged me again and said "So this is what the doctor meant about your damaged abdominal muscles is it?! Why didn't you tell me Jess? We can deal with this, we can deal with this together it's not going to stop you getting on with your life." She pulled the towel gently from me and turned the shower back on. In a very matter-of-fact voice, she said, come on we've got a lunch.......

to get to. And you need to get cleaned up". Sara helped me shower again, then I got dry. I decided to get another nappy on before I started cleaning up the puddle in the bathroom. So we went through to my room. I got out a nappy then started to lay it out on the bed. Sara...

[DollyDiaper]

....looked at me questioningly, so I said "No, I haven't really got a clue. I always steered clear of that end of my sister's.." did Sara see me flinch, knowing what I had been about to say? "...my niece and nephews." Sara....

shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "Well I did just help you take a shower and see you right after you had a you know. So I guess this isn't really any different. And I guess it means the babysitting I did when I was a teenager is going to come in useful". I cringed as she mentioned babysitting. I wondered if Sara saw me as some sort of baby now...

[DollyDiaper]

....especially when she asked "I don't suppose you've got any baby powder hanging ar......." she tailed off, her cheeks instantly flushing "Oh Jess I didn't..." I cut in, "It's ok Sara, it's silly us both being embarrassed here. Besides, I'm going to have to get used to hearing...

that sort of thing. I mean, I don't know how long the nappy thing is going to last. And I think I might have talcum powder in the bathroom. That will have to do until I can get some proper supplies". Sara trotted off the the bathroom and I was left there lying on a nappy...

[DollyDiaper]

.....I was still trying to get used to this new sensation. Instead of thin silky pants against my skin, it felt a bit like....

[Sunshine2585]

padding. I didn't know how to describe it. It was kinda weird, but I had a feeling that I would get used to it. I wriggled about slightly, just as Sara came back in the room. She was holding the talcum powder. "Jess what are you doing" she asked...

[DollyDiaper]

...."Well you don't think I'm just going to lie here like a statue and make your job easier than babysitting (there, I said it!) do you?! I thought I'd practise wriggling a bit." I teased her. She looked at me unsure about how she should react to my sudden change in attitude. I wriggled again, then giggled, and she........

[Sunshine2585]

smiled. "Ok. Do you want me to treat you like the babies that I used to babysit for?" she asked. The only response I gave was to wriggle a bit more. "Ok fine. I can do that. This might even be fun" she said. She walked over to me brandishing the powder in her right hand. I...

......was suddenly wrenched out of my playing by a tap on the door and Jennifer's voice asking, "Are you two ok in there? We don't like to hurry you guys, but don't forget we booked the table for 1." Hearing this, Sara assured her we'd only be about another five minutes, and she continued, but this time in a methodical and practical manner to.......

powder me. Once she had finished that, she put the powder to one side. Then she began taping the nappy up. The fact that it had two tapes on each side rather than the one on baby nappies did confuse her for a bit, but she managed to get it fastened. I stood up...

[DollyDiaper]

....and discovered it felt much more comfortable than the nappy that was put on me in hospital. In fact, it was such a pleasant sensation that I'd almost forgotten how much my foot was throbbing again. Now I realised I faced another immediate problem, not only what to wear on my foot, but what to wear to accommodate the additional bulk.......
