Notes About The Poem

Nora Batty is a character from a British sitcom called 'Last of the Summer Wine', she was famous for wearing wrinkled stockings

My Stockings Really Aren'T Sexy

compression stockings
I look like Nora Batty!
surgery’s over

I'm home after my surgery and couldn't resist writing this little poem - I've got to wear the stockings at home for 24 hours* ... thankfully they don't look anything like Nora Batty's!

* I've actually got to wear them for THREE WEEKS ARGHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks to so many lovely friends and soupers for your support - there are too many people  to mention by name but I do appreciate  so much:-)

Thermal vests & stockings...that sure conjures a great picture:) Keeping my fingers crossed for you my friend. Hugs // paul Jan Allison January 16, 2018 at 2:16 PM ha ha ha I have my thermal leggins on as it is bitterly cold at the moment - the 'nora batty' look isn't glamourous but if it stops me getting DVT then I will wear them all year if I have to!:-) hugs jan xx
