"take off your pants!"

this incident occurred last friday...

i went for a medical review for my plantar fasciitis. during the review, i was put through an ultrasound procedure to check the thickness of my pf. the procedure showed that it was still thick, but the doctor said it was ok as long as i did not experience pain when i do normal activities. to check the strength of my leg muscles, i was asked to stand with my legs apart, kneel, squats, etc as the female doctor observed my gait and stability. and that was when the doctor noted my knees were not holding up as well as it should.

i was asked to lie down on the examination table and she started pressing different points of my knees. and as she examined, i had to raise my legs up and down and at times bend my knees, just like how you see a woman bend her knees when she's giving birth. now, i was wearing long pants and she had trouble feeling the knees and she asked me to remove my pants.

this was my dilemma. i freeballed that day. it was a friday and a dress down day at the office and i always go commando during dress down days... the doctor pulled the curtain and the nurse handed a towel to me.

a lot of thoughts ran through my head at that point. how the hell would i be able to do all the knee bending etc with just a towel without exposing my privates!?!? it would be so embarrassing, for both the doctor and myself! can you imagine this - near-50 year old uncle lying on examination table with knees bend upwards like giving birth with his privates exposed?!?

well, my mind raced as i thought through how to respond to that request (almost an order) that i cannot accede to. there was only one choice for me and that was to pull up the pants as far up the knees as possible. thank goodness the material of the pair of pants i was wearing was those stretchable type and with little trouble i managed to pull it all the way up...

whew...
