My med-surg unit tends to get a lot of um...quirky patients. Yesterday we were chock-full of histrionics, roommates who hated each other,screamers, moaners, and my favorite: the lady who accuses everyone of stealing her things.
I'm not kidding, every five minutes she called the ER to accuse them of stealing her $100 dollar lace panties. Despite a concerted effort by our unit and ER staff alike, no panties were found. Which brings me to my question: Have you or anyone you know ever been in possession of a pair of panties that cost $100 dollars? Where does one buy such panties? Are they threaded with gold? Discuss.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
This thread is useless without pictures.......KIDDING!!
Yes, there are specially ordered panties from Paris (or other old school European countries) that cost over $100 a pair. And there's some little old ladies who INSIST that their imported lingerie is the best thing since strippers discovered Fredricks of Hollywood.....
And most came from long dead husbands who were there on business back in 1956 and they were so SCANDALOUS.....
Ah, the stories......Tis the time of year where not so well meaning family members are dropping Gram off for a little "rest" due to their dehydration, change in mental status, failure to thrive....and you have a unit of former ladies who lunch that are comparing baubles and panties and fur coats...and fighting about their diamonds......Sigh.
Um, "ouch" is not the sensation that is meant to be experienced when wearing panties like this. Just saying =)
Double strand of pearl crotch?! OUCH!!!!!!! Plus, with my luck, the string would break, and loose pearls would start dropping out of my pant leg...
I can't imagine ever spending that kind of money on a pair of undies. Even if I was seriously, disgustingly wealthy. LOL

Imagine what happened if you wore them at work. You bend over in a patient's room. POP. Loose pearls drop from your pant legs, heat creeps across your face and you're flustered trying to pick them up. All the while the patient is watching and wondering what other treasures are hidden.
When my mom had her mastectomy and I came to help after she was home again, I brought some silly presents with me. My mom was a beautiful woman who dressed elegantly when needed despite wearing
plain ol' cotton panties when she was wearing jeans.
Her first post op day, I switched her cotton undies for one of several pair
I'd bought. That day's pair were nylon pale pink bikinis with sequins, lace, and seed pearls. I wanted her to see that she could still feel feminine. Her comment? That they'd make fantastic maternity panties!
About four days later, I took a silly nightshirt and sweatshirt with a Christmas unicorn on it. She liked it so much, she decided to sleep in it.
She paired it with another pair of the bikinis.
The absurd thing about that night was that when the surgeon stopped
for a late check, he couldn't stop laughing at her choice of pjs. We had a good laugh too!
