My pyjamas were always made of cotton. These days I don't bother
wearing anything when I go to bed.

I will restate, I thought they'd outlawed those flame retardants on
fabrics decades ago. shrug

I haven't worn pyjamas for 50 years. I'll have to wear them tomorrow in
hospital when I go in for my bypass surgery. 😿


Good thoughts and prayers for your surgery - and for you to not be too
uncomfortable wearing pj's.

Purrs for that surgery, Adrian. My SO had a quintuple bypass in 2004
and he's still going strong.

I didn't know about this, Adrian! My dad had quintuple bypass in 2003 and
as far as I know, he's doing pretty well, too. (If he wasn't, I'm sure I
would have heard.)

Purrs and good luck tomorrow!
