I was thrilled when my wife gave me an old pair of camouflage sweats and an ragged old tee shirt in the hospital (and my cap).  I was tired of my gown which was slipping off all the time.  I put those clothes on immediately.  The nurses on the other shifts did not say two words about me not having their ubiquitous night gown on.  My clothes were now comfortable.  It was a small thing but it wasn’t.  One nurse even thought it was cool.  I don’t know why everyone has to wear those ugly gowns.  I just was so happy with my tee shirt and sweats.
