Chapter 5
A week had gone by and Sandra was back at the ortho's, ready for the next part of her treatment.
As Sandra was getting settled, she said to the doctor, "Is there any chance I can take these gloves off?"
"Don't worry," said the doctor, "soon you'll have some new ones and I promise you won't want to take them off. But for now, yes, you can remove them." Sandra pulled them off. Feeling the cool air on her skin again felt nice.
"Can you stand up for me please, Sandra?" Sandra did as she was asked. "Can you take off your T-shirt and put this on please." Sandra looked at the new top the doc wanted her to wear. It was like a body stocking, but not as fashionable as the ones in the shop.
"Yes, okay," she said. A little while later, Sandra had managed to change, having struggled with getting the bodystocking over her head, until the doc came to help her.
"Now for the next stage of treatment," she said, holding up a back brace as she approached her. Sandra had a moment where she started to panic. "It's okay," the doc said. "Please don't panic, it will be fine, you'll see." Sandra relaxed a little. The doctor put the back brace on her and made adjustments here and there until it fit snuggly, but still gave Sandra room to breathe properly. "Sandra, sit in the chair please," said the doc. Sandra did as she was told. "Hold your arms out, that's it. Good girl." The doctor approached her with two more PVC gloves. These appeared very long and were a translucent blue color. The doctor slid them onto Sandra's hands and up to her shoulders. After a few minutes, Sandra started to feel calm and wonderfully relaxed. "I think I should explain," said the doctor. "The gloves contain a special plant extract that helps calm you. That, now combined with the specially designed back brace and dental braces, are squeezing and molding key pressure points on your body that help you relax."
Sandra was lost for words for a minute. “I'll tell you this, doc," she said, "whatever you're doing, it feels wonderful. Please don't stop," she said.
"Sandra," the doctor said, "you can remain braced for as long as you want. It's really not a problem." Sandra was starting to drift into a warm relaxed blissful sleep. The doctor smiled at her, "Just relax, my dear, all's well."
