Ch. 202 - Judy's Adventure - My Halo Cast
 
By: Judy Mekas
 
 
"So, Judy, what exactly are you going to tell people about your halo cast?" Dr. Moore inquires. "We need to know so your cast can be medically accurate to your story."
 
 
"Well, Pam, I'm just going to tell people I needed to have a procedure related to my ongoing spinal issues. I plan to say there was a minor complication that resulted in swelling and pressure on my spinal cord in several places, including my neck, causing more paralysis than I normally portray myself as having. My BioTronic device, once activated, will completely paralyze me at the T9 level. Over a period of two months, my paralysis will reduce until I have the same disability as my sister, and I'll remain that way forever." I explain to Pam and Addy, who are very curious. I continue. "As to Jimmy and my friends, I'll simply tell the truth, but not after having some fun with them first." I smile and giggle.
 
 
You have really thought this out, Judy. I would love to experience what Pam's disability is like, and I think my Pammie would really enjoy it too." Addy says with a mischievous smile as she looks at Pam, who is blushing.
 
 
Pam, still blushing and wanting to change the subject, asks, "What color do you want for your cast, Judy?"
 
 
I look at Leigh, then at Pam, and say, "Purple! I want my cast to be purple with hot pink around the edges, too." I then showed a picture of me in my Minerva cast to Bob and Will. "I want my cast to be like this one and go way down on my hips and cover my breasts, too. I'm not going to wear anything over it most of the time, so do a nice job; everyone will be seeing your craftsmanship."
 
 
Bob and Will smiled at me, and Bob, the older of the two, said, "Don't worry, Judy. It will be perfect. We don't usually apply casts like this, so we practiced on our wives last weekend; Pam doesn't mind if we use fiberglass that is about to expire for fun and honing our skills, and our wives are both still enjoying their Risser casts."
 
 
Will looks over at Leigh and says, "I think that not only will we be employees at 'The Clinic', but we'll be frequent clients, too." He then says to Pam, "We'll get the traction frame ready and the material gathered. See you all in a little while."
 
 
"Let me help you up onto the table, Judy. Then things can get underway." Addy lowers the table and helps me transfer to it, then has me position myself with the top of my head overhanging the edge. Addy placed a small pad under the back of my head, then raised the table to a height where Pam could comfortably work on me from her wheelchair. Then she wheels over a cart that has my halo ring and everything necessary to secure it to my skull. Pam rolls over to my right side, and Addy sits on a stool to my left. Leigh also wheels over next to Addy and says, "It'll be painful and uncomfortable, but well worth it for the pleasure your halo will bring you."
 
 
From talking to Leigh and all the others who have worn a halo, I knew what to expect, and the procedure to place my halo began. The ring was placed around my head and held in position with soft-tipped positioning pins. Once the proper placement was determined, a bit of hair from where the back pins would go was shaved. Then the sites were cleaned and injected with an anesthetic, which didn't feel too good. I don't like shots, and here I am getting four of them, followed by big titanium pins screwed into my skull. 
 
 
Once the anesthetic had time to work, the pin sites were cleaned again, and the pins were tightened just enough to contact my head. Addy and Pam began to tighten the pins, working opposite each other and alternating between pairs of opposing pins. I could hear them digging into my skull, and I could feel the pressure, but there was no pain yet. With a final click of the torque wrenches, Addy ensured that everything was perfect and my halo was properly secured to my head. Then, Addy and Pam did something else to each pin; I couldn't tell what, but Leigh was watching very intently as they worked like it was something she had never seen before, and Leigh has a lot of experience with halo braces.
 
 
"You're all done, Judy! I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable for you." Pam said it with a warm smile. "But it will start to hurt after the anesthetic wears off."
 
 
"I think you will really like your halo ring. It's a prototype based on the design of an orthodontic external distraction device by maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Walter Wilkinson. The pins are flush with the outside of your halo ring, so they won't catch on things. You are the first person to ever wear one." Addy explains details that no one told me about.
 
 
"We know Walt! Our friends Blake and Chris wore WEDDs for some time and found them to be quite comfortable. Their appliances didn't get caught up on their clothes or bedding like our friends halo brace pins did." Now I really wanted to see what my new, special halo ring looked like. 
 
 
Addy lowered the table and helped me back into my wheelchair, and I rolled over to the mirror. The ring secured to my skull was simply smooth around the outside; nothing stuck out like every other halo I have ever seen. I looked like an angel with my halo on my head, not connected to anything, but I was slouching quite a bit without my Milwaukee brace on, and my back was starting to hurt.
 
 
"Let's get you into a nice, cozy body cast and get that halo ring attached to it, Judy." Addy grabs the handles of my wheelchair and begins pushing me to the cast room, with Pam and Leigh following.
 
 
Once in the cast room, Bob explained the procedure for applying my cast. It would be much like when Billy placed me in my Minerva cast, but instead of a halter around my head and chin, my halo would be used to apply a slight bit of traction. Since the traction frame had been configured to apply my cast while standing, Bob asked me, "Judy, you are able to stand, aren't you?"
 
 
"Only if my legs have support. I have strength in my hips, but not my legs." I honestly replied. 
 
 
At this point, I was glad I hadn't activated my device yet. However, I wish I had worn my KAFOs. I almost asked to be put in a pair of LLCs, but I let Bob come up with a solution.
 
 
"Have Addy help you to undress, then we'll put you in a pair of knee immobilizers. Between those and being in traction, you should do okay." Bob says this as he gets a pair of full-leg knee braces from a cabinet.
 
 
Addy helped me take off my sweatshirt, which slipped easily over my halo ring. My back and neck were really starting to hurt from the weight of my halo ring and not being in my Milwaukee brace. I was anxious to be put in traction since I knew it would bring relief. Will then picked me up out of my wheelchair and placed me on a table, where Addy removed my sandals and pants. Bob and Will then placed the braces on my legs, helped me to my feet, and steadied me.
 

Once on my feet, Addy approached with what kind of looked like a T-shirt with very short arms and a long neck and tail and explained, "You halo ring is not the only new thing we'll be trying out on you. This is a new type of stockinette with anti-microbial properties. It should greatly reduce itching and odor. You're prefect to test it since you'll be in your cast for an extended period of time."
 
 
Addy pulls the stockinette over my head, once again with my halo not catching on anything, and I put my arms through the sleeves. It fits really tight, but not uncomfortably so, and it extends down to my knees and up over my face to just below my nose. The material felt great against my skin, and it was knitted in such a way that there were no seams to rub or chafe.
 
 
Bob and Will then walked me to the traction frame, with Will supporting my weak body as Bob connected the traction weight to my halo. He gently let the weight pull on my spine, which relieved the back pain I was having. I liked how being in traction felt. Bob asked me to extend my arms straight out from my body, and he supported them in slings for the duration of the casting procedure. With my spine in traction and my arms extended and supported, Will stepped away, and my body simply hung there in the traction frame. With little of my weight on my feet, it felt like I was floating in mid-air, but the pull on my spine was becoming a bit uncomfortable, but in a pleasant way, if you can understand that.
 
 
Bob and Will got to work, and they worked quickly and carefully. My entire body was soon wrapped in padding, with special attention to my hips and breasts. Then they began to apply the fiberglass tape, using white for the first several layers. Once the white tape had been applied, the four brackets for the uprights of my halo were placed. Bob explained that they are secured to the first layers of my cast with the same resin that is in the cast tape.
 

Once the brackets were properly placed, the final layers of purple tape were applied. It must be a different brand than Billy uses; the color is much more vibrant. Finally, the edges of my cast were trimmed and finished with more purple tape, and then the edges were highlighted with two-inch-wide hot pink tape. My cast seemed like it was very thick and strong, and I could feel the warmth as it cured. I couldn't wait to see how it looked, but it needed to dry and for my halo ring to be attached to it.
 
 
As we were waiting for my cast to fully harden, I could feel the anesthetic for my pins wearing off. They were becoming painful, and the feeling of pressure was intensifying. Just as the pain was getting fairly strong, I was distracted by Addy saying, "OK, Judy. Let's get your arms out of those slings; I know how uncomfortable it is. It will only take a few minutes to get your halo secured to your cast."
 
 
Addy was right; it only took a few minutes. Will worked to my left and Bob to my right, with Addy handing them tools and various parts. My headblocks were soon secured to my halo ring, and the telescoping uprights were fitted between the fixtures embedded in my cast and my headblocks, and I was completely immobilized from my hips to my head; it felt wonderful. Before I knew it, the guys were sitting me down in my wheelchair and taking off my leg braces. Addy, being used to helping Pam dress, got my sweat pants back on me and strapped my sandals to my feet. On top, I wore nothing but my halo cast, which I have yet to see.
 
 
Now, with me back in my wheelchair and dressed, we thanked Bob and Will for staying after hours and wished their wives the best in their Risser casts. Both men said they hoped to see Leigh and I again soon and wanted us to meet their wives. We all exchanged phone numbers and agreed to get together while their wives were still in their Risser casts. It's always great to meet fellow cast and brace lovers.
 
 
Bob and Will wished me well and told us that they enjoyed placing me in my halo cast before saying goodbye. Then they each gave me a hug, too. They're so kind, and it seems that they and their wives are just as crazy as the rest of us. I hope I feel up to meeting their wives before their casts are removed.
 
 
After the guys left, Pam checked my pins once again and asked if I was having any unusual discomfort or pain. I said my pins were becoming quite painful, and the pressure was greatly intensifying. Pam assured me that everything looked fine and that a great deal of discomfort and pain were normal for the first few days, especially in the hours after the halo is placed and the anesthetic injections wear off. This is what the other girls who have had halos told me, too. Knowing that what I was feeling was normal and expected was very comforting.
 
 
I was now anxious to get home—well, not to my home, but to Leigh's; I'm going to stay with her until Jimmy gets back. I thanked Pam and Addy for everything they have done for me. As we were leaving, with Addy pushing my wheelchair, she stopped and got a box and put it on my lap. She said it contained the vest for my halo that I wanted to wear after my cast was removed. Remember my plan: eight weeks in my cast, a few days at home to exercise and maybe play with traction, then many more weeks in my halo wearing a standard vest.
 
 
Once the office was locked up and we were in the parking lot, we all hugged, and I thanked Addy and Pam once again. Pam said that if I was up to it, maybe we could get together on Saturday evening for dinner. I said I would let her know, and I hoped I felt good enough to go out. Addy helped me carefully get into the car, then she helped Leigh, too, and put our wheelchairs in the back seat. Thanks were expressed yet again, and since it was getting late and very dark, we waited for Pam and Addy to get into their DBX and start the engine. We followed them out of the parking lot, where they turned left to go to their home overlooking town, and we turned right towards our home in the country.
 
 
At this point, I knew what my halo cast felt like, and the pins didn't feel good. However, I had not seen myself yet, nor had I activated my BioTronic implant. I got my phone out of my bag, opened the app, and activated the special mode that Mike had set up for me, and my entire lower body seemed to simply disappear. 

Ch. 204 – Judy's Adventure - The First Few Days 2
 
By: Judy Mekas
 
 
After everyone had left, it was just Leigh and me, and we went to watch the news on TV. I just sat there in my wheelchair, enjoying the feeling of, well, not feeling anything below my tummy. I was also getting used to how my halo pins felt with the pressure they exerted on my head and my completely immobilized spine. It wasn't physically comfortable; my body needs time to adapt to being immobilized so severely, but it's very emotionally comforting. I know I will enjoy my time in my halo and the slow return of feeling in my legs and muscle control in my hips and lower back. One thing I definitely know is that once my adventure is over, I will be living my life with the exact same disability as Collie. I plan to never turn the device off and, at times, even increase its very pleasurable, paralyzing effects.
 
 
While lost in my thoughts, I felt a rumbling in my gut. The only part of my lower body that I could still control—my bowels—were speaking. I need to use the toilet, and I should have gone while Paul was here to help me—this will be a real challenge. I told Leigh, and she said she would help me as much as possible. We wheeled to the bathroom, where Leigh unstrapped me from my chair. Then, with quite a bit of effort, I was able to lift my skirt and transfer to the toilet. Then came the next challenge. With my hip muscles paralyzed, I couldn't sit up on my own and had to hold onto the handrails on either side of the toilet. I'm really glad that we all have accessible bathrooms in our homes.
 

Once I was done, I was also glad that Leigh's toilet had a built-in bidet to get me cleaned up. It was difficult, but I got myself dried off and back in my wheelchair with Leigh strapping me in. If I wasn't in my halo cast, things would have been a lot easier, but with my cast, taking a shit was a real ordeal; my arms were tired and my halo pins were hurting a bit more, too.
 
 
We then went outside to get some fresh air and do a little nature watching. I don't know how long we had been outside when Bekah came crutching up the path from her house. She was moving right along like normal on her crutches, but there was something a bit different about her gait, and she was wearing a different outfit, too. When she got close enough, we could see her smiling from ear to ear with her double-facebow headgear on. She crutched up to us, and when she went to sit down, her knees unlocked, and she sort of fell back into the chair. It was obvious she was using her device, and her legs were paralyzed.
 
 
"What's it like, Bekah, and what mode do you have activated?" I ask with curiosity.
 
 
"Collene." Bekah said, still with a smile on her face.
 
 
"What's it like for you, dear?" Leigh smiles as she speaks, seeing her friend so happy.
 
 
"Oh, this is amazing. Thank you both so much, and thank your friends Myra, Mike, and Gracie. I can't believe this; it is a dream come true for me, as it has been for both of you. Do you think I could get an implant like you both have?" I have never seen Rebekah this excited before.
 
 
"I don't see why not. Myra would need to interview you first and ask some questions. I'm sure she would be happy to have another test subject since everything is going so well with Judy, Gracie, and myself." Leigh is excited at the prospect of Bekah getting an implant.
 
 
"Well, I love what this device is doing for me. After Paul attached it to my back brace, I turned it on to full paralysis mode, and it sure enough worked instantly. My lower body went numb, and I pissed and crapped myself. I should have asked a few more questions about how it works before rushing off earlier. I changed the setting to give myself bladder and bowel control, but I remained paralyzed while Paul got me cleaned up and changed the bedding.
 
 
After that, we made love, which felt quite strange. I could and couldn't feel Paul inside me, but I could sense his presence, and my orgasm was very bizarre; I had never experienced one like it before. Paul was very satisfied, despite my body not reacting normally. He said it felt strange, but very pleasurable. After we cuddled and he played with my limp legs, he got me dressed and headed to the shop. I bet you can't wait until Jimmy's home, so you two can experience this too, Judy." Rebekah blushes as she realizes she might have said too much.
 
 
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to Jimmy's return. I have played around with my toys while paralyzed, but not since getting my halo cast; that will add a whole new dimension." I said, wishing Jimmy was home.
 
 
We all sat around and chatted for a while, then I got a text from Emme. When Paul had gotten to the shop, he had told her and Sam about my halo cast and implant. Both girls wanted to come visit later, and they were bringing lunch, too.
 
 
When the girls arrived, they just gushed over my halo cast, with Emme recalling her days in both her recreational and medical halo braces. Both girls knew about Leigh's implant, and over lunch we talked about mine, my cast, and my plans for the next few months. Emme and Sam couldn't believe that my device had been programmed in such a way that there is no way for me to turn off its effects; only time will bring feeling and limited movement to my lower body. Emme was very curious about the external device that Bekah is using, and after lunch she showed it to her, fixed to her Milwaukee brace. We could all tell that both Emme and Sam wanted to try this for themselves, but we only had three external BioTronic devices left, and they were for not only Emme but Kathy and Addy, too; Sam and Emme would be left out for now.
 
 
However, that all changed when the doorbell rang. It was the package man with a box from MJ Biotronics. When Leigh opened the box, it contained four external BioTronic devices—enough for all our friends. Bekah asked the girls if they, by chance, happened to have their crutches in the car since they usually walk without them in the KAFOs. Knowing what they would soon be experiencing, their eyes lit up, and broad smiles came to their faces. Sam said they did, and both girls went to the car and returned on crutches with their legs locked straight. 
 
 
We explained how to attach their devices to their back braces, and Bekah got a screwdriver to do the job. The girls attached the devices to each others Milwaukee braces, and Leigh installed the control app on their phones. Then we explained how to use the app, and Bekah warned them not to use the complete paralysis setting unless they had a catheter or diaper; she had learned the messy way. Emme and Sam looked at each other, then at the rest of us, who were all smiling and anticipating what our friends would soon experience. They selected the 'Leigh' option, which is complete paralysis while bladder and bowel control remain; this is how Leigh lives her life most of the time.
 
 
As soon as their devices were activated, they fell back on the couch; their hips could not support them in an upright position. Both girls had a look of shock on their faces as they lost control of their bodies and looked down at their legs, which they could no longer feel. 
 
 
"Do you like how it feels, or, better said, what you don't feel?" Leigh inquires with a smile.
 
 
"I can't believe this is real! A little plastic box attached to my brace, pressing gently up against my back, has completely paralyzed my lower body. This is amazing!" Emme says, smiling with her trademark crooked, banded smile.
 
 
"I can't wait for Millie to see me like this. She will go nuts playing with my limp, unfeeling legs! Millie recently told me that she has been having dreams at night about me as a wheelchair-dependent paraplegic. Now, with a push of a button, I can be the crippled girl my sweet Millie dreams about. Thank you, and thank your friends at MJ Biotronics, too! This is so wonderful!" Sam is very excited for Millie to see her paralyzed.
 
 
For the next few hours, we enjoyed quiet conversation and simply enjoyed how our bodies felt. I was really relaxed, and my halo pins were hardly bothering me, but there is still a lot of pressure on my head. I learned from Kathy to take it easy the first few days after getting a halo. She did too much and was very uncomfortable, unnecessarily. It was getting late, and Sam and Emme needed to be on their way. They set their devices to 'Collene' with sensation returning to their lower bodies and strength returning to their hips and lower backs. Slowly and carefully, they stood up, ensuring their knees were locked, and took a few steps, now completely reliant on their KAFOs and crutches for mobility. They crutched over and gave us all hugs, thanking us for everything. As they were crutching out the front door, Emme said, "I'm going to have Pete take me out tonight in my wheelchair paralyzed while wearing my blinding contacts. It will be such a thrill for both of us!"
 
 
Leigh and I spent the rest of the afternoon outside, enjoying the warm breeze and sun. We talked a bit about the package that arrived from MJ Biotronics and who we wished to give the devices to. One person that came to mind right away was Billy. Billy and Chris are different from all the other guys and girls. Chris wears his braces to provide emotional support for Blake, and Billy simply wants to understand Collie's situation, what her daily life is like with her paralysis, and commune with her. Neither man finds wearing his braces erotic or sensual, except for the special closeness they feel with their ladies while wearing them. We decided that Billy would really appreciate having a BioTronic device so he could experience exactly what Collie's life is like, as I plan to do.
 
 
Just as we were talking about Billy, I got a text from Collie. She said that instead of picking up something for dinner, Billy wanted to cook for us. Billy is an excellent chef, and we anxiously awaited their arrival. When they arrived, Billy got busy cooking while us girls chatted. We told Collie that we had several more BioTronic devices and asked if she thought Billy might enjoy using one, and she replied, "Oh, yes! I know he would. Billy would do anything to experience exactly what my life is like. He wants so much to know what living with paralysis is like, but his braces just don't give him the complete picture. We're going away for the weekend, so it will be a perfect time. So tell me how this works."
 
 
Leigh explained everything about the device, like how to mount it to Billy's brace and about the app, which Leigh installed on Collie's phone; she would be controlling Billy's experience. Collie was so excited to see what the weekend would hold and what Billy's reaction to actually being paralyzed would be. She would surprise him with the device tomorrow morning before they left for their trip.
 
 
After dinner, we all watched a movie, but Billy and Collie needed to get home and finish packing for their vacation. Before they left, Billy stood by while Leigh took a shower, just in case she needed help. He also cleaned my halo pins and said all looked well, which is what I thought; the discomfort is much less this evening. Then he helped me to use the toilet, which was much less challenging with a little assistance. Collie gave me a sponge bath and massaged my legs and feet before rubbing lotion on them. I could tell she was really enjoying it, and she was often playing with my limp feet and legs, as I do hers when giving her a massage. I've always been so jealous of Collie's thin, limp, and useless legs, and now mine are just like hers—a dream come true.
 
 
Just as Leigh comes rolling into the room, Billy is helping me transfer to the recliner, where I'll sleep once again. Tomorrow night, I'll try sleeping in a bed. Billy then swapped my catheter bag, and Leigh got me a bottle of water to sip on during the night. Collie wheeled over and hugged me and said, "I'm so happy for you, Judy. You and Leigh are finally living in the bodies you were meant to have, and you are having a hell of an adventure with your halo cast, too. It's going to be fun to see you slowly regain feeling and some movement in your body, then begin to live your life as I must live mine. Good luck and much happiness; we'll see you soon."
 
 
Collie then hugged Leigh, and Billy wished us well. Just as Billy was walking and Collie was crutching out the door, Collie stopped and turned to us. She winked and quietly said, "Thank you," then crutched away. It was thanks for what Billy would soon be experiencing, bringing them even closer together.
 
 
Even though all I had really done today was sit immobile in my wheelchair, I was extremely tired. However, I felt quite good as my body was beginning to accept the immobilization of my halo cast. Even my halo pins were not really hurting, just a dull pain and the pressure. Leigh sat the remote control for the lights on the table next to me, then gave me a hug and told me how much she loves me and how happy she is for me to realize my dream. I thanked her, saying it's only possible because of her and her friends, and Leigh smiled her metallic smile, then wheeled off to bed.
 
 
I got my blanket over my legs and reclined the chair slightly. I drifted off to sleep thinking about Jimmy's return, what his reaction would be, and what my life would be like over the next several months.

Ch. 206 – Judy's Adventure - Jimmy's Home
 
By: Judy Mekas
 

Last night, Leigh and I had a fabulous evening with Pam and Addy. Leigh and Pam mostly talked about Pam's upcoming retirement and her new, part-time role at 'The Clinic'. However, Addy and I talked about my situation, and she gave me lots of tips she had learned from patients. She also said that over the years, she has worn just about every kind of cast or brace imaginable, except for a halo brace. Addy said that Pam encourages employees to experience what their patients have to endure, even if it is just for a few hours. She said at first she didn't enjoy wearing casts or braces at all, but did so only to learn what it was like to wear them.
 
 
However, as Pam's condition worsened, Addy began to secretly wear Pam's old leg braces and use her spare wheelchair when alone. At first, this was only to see what Pam's life is like, but she has grown to enjoy wearing them whenever she gets a chance, but Pam doesn't know. It seems she has feelings and desires similar to Billy's. I'm so glad we brought an external BioTronic device to give to Pam and Addy, and I hope that Leigh finds the right opportunity to give it to Pam, which later I learned she did.
 
 
When I was starting to get sleepy, Addy offered to help me get settled in bed. I wheeled into the bedroom with Addy following. She helped me brush my teeth and all my appliances, then got me on the toilet. Addy might look slender and slight, but she is very strong, and with her training, she knows how to properly assist someone who is disabled. While I was on the toilet, she placed a thick wedge-shaped pillow on the bed and told me it would make sleeping in my halo cast more comfortable. She cleaned me up from using the toilet, and I transferred to my wheelchair, then wheeled to the bed. Addy got me as comfortable as possible; this was my first time laying down in my halo cast. As she was connecting my night catheter bag, Leigh came rolling into the room.
 

Addy asked if Leigh needed any assistance, and she said, "No, I'll do fine, but you better go check on Pam. She's wheeling to the bedroom, and she's a bit tipsy." Addy, with a look of concern, says, "Good night, ladies. I better go help Pam; I don't want her to take another fall. So far, she's been lucky and hasn't broken anything... Yet."
 

Now that we were alone, Leigh went to use the bathroom, brush her teeth, and clean that mouthful of metal she enjoys so much. I like my braces and other appliances a whole lot and have no plans to get them removed any time soon. However, all that stuff Leigh wears is something else, and I'm sort of jealous of her modified Herbst telescopes that let her lock her jaw shut. Maybe I'll have to have a few modifications made to my braces someday.
 

Finally, Leigh emerges from the bathroom in only her panties with her large night bag attached to her catheter. She wheels over to the bed and transfers into it next to me. She carefully positions her legs and gets comfortable, then hangs her bag on the bed frame. 
 

"Thanks for having Addy help you get ready for bed. It gave me a minute to be alone with Pam." Leigh rolls on her side to face me.
 

"Alone with Pam?" I say with curiosity.

 
"Yes, it gave me the chance to give her the external BioTronic device for Addy. I wanted to make sure Pam was good with the whole idea." Leigh replies.
 

"Was she?" After talking with Addy, I know she would love using it.
 

"Yes, she was very pleased. Addy is a lot like Billy when it comes to the desire to experience her partner's disability." Leigh explains. "In fact, Pam thinks Addy might enjoy it for other reasons, too."
 

"Oh, I know Addy will love it. She is a lot like us and our friends." I reply.
 

Lying in bed in my halo cast was a bit uncomfortable, and Leigh held my hand as we chatted. Finally, we were both getting sleepy, and I thanked Leigh for helping to make my life perfect. We expressed our platonic love for each other, then drifted off to sleep holding hands.
 

I was surprised at how well I slept last night since I was in a bit of discomfort last night. This morning I felt great, and my halo pins were not hurting at all. I was, however, a bit on edge thinking about Jimmy's return and his reaction to not only my halo cast but also my current state of disability and my plan to remain partially paralyzed for the rest of my life. As we were getting ready for the day, Leigh could tell I was a bit emotional and said, "Don't worry so much, Judy. Everything will be fine, and you and Jimmy will have a very enjoyable time. I know he will be supportive of you living the rest of your life paralyzed like Collie is. It seems that anything that makes you happy makes him happy. Jimmy is a great guy!" Leigh's words made me feel better. I know Jimmy will love what I'm doing.
 

Just as Leigh was helping me get my skirt on while still laying in bed, there was a knock at the door: "You girls up? It's me, Addy." Leigh told her to come in and that she was just in time to help me get into my wheelchair. Addy helped me sit up and transfer to my wheelchair, then she connected both Leigh's and my leg bags for the day. She bought me a washcloth to wash my face, then checked and cleaned my halo pins, saying everything looked great. Finally, Addy tightly strapped me into my wheelchair and said, "Pam and I are hungry. Are you ladies up for going out for breakfast?" Of course we were ready to eat; that is something we enjoy doing, and we're lucky—we never gain any weight.
 

Leigh and I followed Addy to the kitchen, where Pam was already enjoying a cup of coffee. After the rest of us enjoyed a cup, Addy asked Leigh, "Want to go for that ride in my Wartburg I promised you last time you visited?" Leigh was very excited to do so, but there was a problem: who would drive our bus? Pam eagerly volunteered to drive our little bus, saying she could handle it since she drove a grain truck for her grandfather during harvest before her injury. With that, we all got loaded up and headed to breakfast.
 

Over breakfast, Addy and Pam offered to help me get ready for Jimmy's arrival. I graciously accepted their offer; I know I'll need Addy's help getting situated. The rest of the conversation was casual, but I did notice that Pam seemed entranced at times with Leigh's orthodontic appliances and seemed to be enjoying being around three ladies all wearing headgear. Maybe it's nothing, but I have a feeling that Pam will soon be wearing orthodontic braces.
 

After breakfast, we were once again on the road. This time to my cottage, which I have been away from for several days. When we arrived, I was glad that I had made a few preparations before I got my halo cast. Little things like a wedge pillow for the bed and moving some furniture a little bit since I'll always be using my wheelchair for the next several months. It felt good to be home.
 

Our couch is 'L' shaped, and I decided I wanted to sit in the corner with my legs out in front of me. This would give Jimmy the perfect view of me as he walked in the door, and he could sit next to me, too. Addy helped me transfer to the couch, carefully positioning my legs, and she also put some pillows behind me to make me comfortable. Leigh rolled to the kitchen, fixed me a cold drink, and set it on the table next to me. Addy checked my halo pins and cleaned them again, then emptied my catheter bag. With me settled in, the girls all gave me a hug and wished me well on my adventure.
 

Pam was the last one out, and I had her leave the front door open; there was a nice warm breeze coming in from the screened porch. I was feeling so good, both physically and emotionally. My body was now accustomed to being immobilized, and I was loving being paralyzed. There was only a slight pressure from my halo pins, and it was only noticeable if I thought about it. My spine was no longer aching from the traction my halo applied, and my body was completely relaxed in my cast. It was like I was completely paralyzed, but with my arms still working. I was in heaven.
 

I don't know how much time has passed, but I must have fallen asleep, and I was awakened by a loud thud. When I opened my eyes, Jimmy was standing in front of me with a big smile on his face, and his bag was lying on the floor; he must have dropped it in disbelief upon seeing me.
 

"What the hell, Judy? That's quite the cast and brace combination you're in. I know you're not injured, or someone would have called me. So, tell me all about it." Jimmy has a look of shock and pleasure on his face.
 

Smiling, I say, "I thought you would like it, Jimmy. I know how much you love seeing the pictures of me in my Minerva cast and your fascination with Lori and Kathy's halos."
 

"I do like it very much, but your halo must be so painful with those pins in your skull." Jimmy seems a bit concerned as he sits down next to me. So far, he hasn't taken any notice of my legs or how my feet are limp and splayed out.
 

"Don't worry, Jimmy. I'm not in pain anymore, and when I was, it wasn't that bad. I've been in my halo cast for a few days now, and I'm quite comfortable." Jimmy's look turns from one of concern to one of lust.
 

Laughing, Jimmy said, "So this is why you haven't done any video chats with me?"
 

With a smile, I replied, "That's right. I couldn't spoil the surprise."
 

"It's a hell of a surprise. Tell me what your plans are." Jimmy snuggles up next to me and gives me a kiss, then holds my hand.
 

"Well, I'm going to wear this cast for eight weeks. Then, I'll get my cast removed and switch to a standard halo vest for another few months. During that time, we can play around with putting me in traction like Kathy did, and I'll also have you remove my vest every few weeks so I can exercise my neck. I don't want to have the problems that Kathy and Lori had after their long immobilization." Jimmy is all smiles as I detail my plan.
 

"This is great, Judy! I just adore your cast, and the color is wonderful; it looks really good on you. We are going to have a lot of fun, and I'll take good care of you, babe." Jimmy still has not paid any attention to my legs, nor has he mentioned my catheter.
 

"Jim, will you massage my legs and feet for me?" Now maybe he'll notice my limp, useless legs. I carefully begin to turn my body to face Jimmy, and I say, "Help me with my legs; they are very weak, you know." Weak is an understatement; they are completely paralyzed.
 

"Let me help you." Jimmy picks up my legs, which I can normally still move a bit, but they are now paralyzed. As he places my legs across his lap, Jimmy can tell something is very different as my feet and legs sit limp across his knees, and a look of bewilderment comes to his face. "What the fuck, Judy? Your legs? What is going on?"
 

"I got one of those implants like Leigh got. I'm completely paralyzed from my belly button down, just like our friend Flora. However, unlike her, this is only temporary to simulate swelling after an injury or surgery." Jimmy is now massaging my legs and tickling my feet, but I don't feel a thing. "Over the next eight weeks, my implant will let me regain movement and feeling, but I'm going to continue to live with my legs paralyzed, just like Collie. It is my intention to never use my legs again without my KAFOs."
 

"Judy, you are crazy, but crazy in a way I dearly love!" With a sheepish grin, Jimmy asks, "Can you... Can we... Make love with you in your cast and without feeling? I assume you can't feel anything down there."
 

"We can sure try, Jim. I won't feel you, but I can still sense something inside of me. I've had my implant for some time and have done a lot of exploring when alone." I'm embarrassed to admit to masturbating.
 

Jimmy carefully stands up, placing my limp legs on the couch. Then he picks me up, halo cast and all, and carries me to the bedroom. He laid me on the bed and quickly took off my skirt. Then, just as fast, he was naked in bed with me. I sensed him entering me, and his thrusting made my body move within my cast, stimulating my nipples. Then, just as we were both about to cum, for a moment, feeling returned to my sex, and I could feel Jimmy inside of me. My legs and feet began to violently spasm as the waves of pleasure overtook my body. My spasming legs and feet put Jimmy over the edge, and it was the most intense orgasm of either of our lives.
 

After it was over, we were exhausted and drenched in sweat. Jimmy rolled me onto my side, and then he did the same so we could lay face to face. It felt strange to have my head suspended in mid-air, but it was enjoyable. Jimmy and I talked for about an hour, and then we decided to go out for dinner. He got me cleaned up, dressed, and into my wheelchair, then he took a shower. Once he was showered and dressed, we made our way out to his car and headed into town. 
 

I know we'll have a good time tonight, and I'll tell you all about it really soon. But first, I'm going to let Leigh tell you a story. I'll be back with you soon.
