"And how are we today Mr."And how are we today Mr. Watson?" "I, ... am fine." "Excellent. Please be so good as to get out of bed." Aware that his attendants were at most a call away, Joe hastened to do her bidding. "Get undressed and put these on." She directed. Not daring to disobey, Joe doffed his clothing and took that which she offered. "These" were a matching gown and robe. No pretense was offered to disguise their feminine style. The gown was blue satin and was edged in lace on the hem, and bodice. The robe matched the gown. It tied at the waist and fell to his knees. "We're going for a walk Joe." "But, Doctor, I have had trouble walking ever since that doctor worked on my feet." At this Dr. van Damme produced two items. "Here. These should help you walk easier." Joe was speechless. she had given him two tiny high heeled shoes. There wasn't much to them. Just a satin strap across the instep with some fluff attached. "They are called mules Joe. Sit down." Joe sat and Dr. van Damme placed the mules on his feet. She was not surprised to find them a perfect fit. Joe noticed that his feet felt relaxed and natural in them. He stood up. After an initial shakiness, he managed to walk around fairly easily. "Wow. My feet feel so much better in these things." "It seems Joe, that when the doctor modified your feet to accommodate high heels, that he made it difficult, if not impossible, for you to walk barefoot for any great distance or stand for any length of time. Your feet now need the support these type of shoes provide so you'd better get used to wearing them. Now follow me please." As he walked Joe appreciated the way the shoes made his feet more comfortable. In addition, due to his insecurity about his height, he liked the fact that they made him taller. "When I get out of here, I'm going to buy some elevator shoes," he thought. Joe followed the Doctor to an empty room where he was told to strip and lay down on the bed. She returned and gave him a small glass of a bitter clear liquid to drink. Joe immediately felt lightheaded. "What happens now Doc? Gonna let me in on your big plan?" "Yes, perhaps it is time Joe. You might recall that I said that we were going to change your appearance and personality. |
