I think my loungewear or more accurately wear around the house stuff would work. Right now I am wearing sweatpants, a long tee, and prized thrifted Patagonia pullover!

Just read through the rest of the responses. Like Deborah and Janet, I found that abdominal surgery required different clothing. I didn’t want anything that touched my waist, so I got these dresses, which each are gentle on my waist in their own way. After that, I put them away for a while, but now I enjoy wearing them again.

Joy and Rachylou, we are glad you are still here! Joy, the attitudes some have shown towards the elderly in relation to Covid are shocking.

It truly depends on what kind of sick it is. If it's yarfing, I wear comfy "chores" clothes that I don't care about. If it's cold/flu, I wear luxe casual comfort clothes like your 10 year old joggers. The key in either case is comfort, because I don't want to deal with any stiffness or constriction or fidgety nonsense when I'm not feeling well to begin with.

I don't have a "sick capsule", and simply wear extra comfy clothes when I'm ill or under the weather. Very occasionally, like Shevia, I wear my loungewear during the day..........but can't remember when that last happened?

Windchime, please stay safe and healthy!

I'm another one on team sweats/joggers when sick. And I add in a pashmina or warm scarf - there's something about having something snuggly around my shoulders that is soothing.

The comments about abdominal surgery triggered a memory for me. DH had to have surgery about 10 years ago, and I went out and bought him pajama sets with loose drawstring waists. He couldn't understand why, until post-surgery - he lived in those things for 4 weeks!

I wear more or less ath-leisure clothing when my lupus flares up. Sometimes I will even buy some nicer looking ath-leisure if I need to leave the house, but am in too much pain to wear anything constricting.
