Your best feature

Do you have one?  I'm sure you do - look harder.

I'm only interested in a physical feature - not personality.

I was thinking about what I considered my best feature this morning on the Augie walk.

I'm not sure I always thought it was my best but when it went to hell I looked back on how my ankles used to look and realized they probably were the best I had to offer.

Last July 31 I put my bare feet up on the coffee table (I'm allowed) to watch something on TV.  Nothing remarkable happened.

The next night I did the same thing - looked down at my feet - and was taken aback by the water balloons affixed to the outside of both my ankles.  WTH???????

I have pictures but I don't want to gross you out.  You're welcome.

I was concerned enough to go see my doc who sent me for an ultrasound which resulted in seeing a vascular doc.

I knew he would require the wearing of the ugly compression stockings so I got started on those lovely leg accessories right away.

Much to my dismay, there is nothing to be done to return my ankles to their original look.  My condition is not severe enough to warrant a procedure.

The stockings didn't help in any way so I chucked them immediately.  My ankles are less puffy than they were four months ago but, I fear, I'll never be on the cover of "Ankles of America."

So now I'm in the process of looking for a new "best feature."

My ears are in the running.
