Ever since I was a little girl, I have spent my life in turtlenecks. For those who may not know this slang word for a usually cotton shirt, that has a neck on it, that snuggles and cuddles you neck, and keeps it warm.
Heck, I even had summer turtlenecks, that had the neck piece, but short sleeves. Yes, I love that style and my closet is currently full of them.
Flash forward to 2016 and the surgery, which put titanium pins and a small plate in the throat area. I’m still not sure I can even imagine what this looks like, but when I go on the 26th of this month, I will get pictures of my xrays.
Meanwhile, back to the turtlenecks. I cannot wear them! I feel like someone is literally choking me! I have several of them which are very loose, and I can’t even wear them. So, I will taken these shirts and store them for a while in another closet and perhaps order some cheap scoop and v-neck shirts.
The scoop and V-necks are about the only thing that is comfortable, but it sure does leave my neck chilly!
Give yourself a much longer healing time and I rather imagine there will be no problem wearing your favorite neckline.
I agree with Carol.
Turtleneck is slang? I didn’t know that.
I actually have a turtleneck related question in my Hodgepodge file. You might see it in an upcoming Wednesday post : ) Glad you’re healing well!
