So embarasing

So today I had kind of a "fashion disaster". So normally I wear some small shoes for work with some straight leg scrub pants that I had to ask for specially as they were being removed from circulation in favor of tapered leg scrub pants... (why?! no one seems to know). anyway I brought my shoes home after work last week as I've really only got dress shoes and boots right now I wanted some shoes to work out in. Anyway, This morning I, of coarse, forgot my shoes and wore the biggest pair of boots I've got. No problem, It looked a little silly to have my big ol clod-hoppers but they didn't look that silly as they were mostly covered up by my nice wide pant leg. All is going well till about 10:00 am when I'm getting a patient out of bed and her Foley catheter bag (containing urine) pops open mysteriously and before I know it soaks my pant leg and the top of my sock. Ok this is just gross, so I go change... (throw away) that sock and (as terrible as getting pee'd on was here's the real dilemma) now I'm only left with a choice of no pants or tapered leg pants till I can drive back to north pole and get my shoes and other pants. So I went to the scrub exchange machine and pulled out some stupid looking clown pants and finished the morning with huge mountain slayer shoes like I was playing "I'm ready for anything"(like when the little boys show up in church with 37 knives and multi tools hanging off there belts, cute for them no so much for me), I looked like SUCH a retard. There was a moment I remember very clearly pulling my pant leg down over my boots and sighing heavily like I do... no fun at all.

The important thing here is that we learned from this and I now will permanently keep a spare pair of pants in my locker. Sorry if you're easily grossed out and this sent you reeling but I though it was pretty funny... In hind sight, naturally. (after my preceptor told Caleb the story HE though it was pretty funny too, "welcome to 2 south" I believe were his words.)
