Re: Velcro-fastening trousers

[Guest guest]

Anyone out there - Is there such a thing on the market? Any that look

" stylish? " Bob's combination of a new medication, diminished exercise and

non-diminished appetite (thank goodness!) have caused a weight gain! We

couldn't believe when he tried on some seldom-worn slacks the other day - he

could NOT get them buttoned!! I moved the button, but they still look

uncomfortable. Plus, as is common, I'm sure, it is not as easy to fasten and

unfasten buttons with this condition, and it takes a longer time which can cause

havoc when having to go to the restroom... My daughter made the comment, " I'm

going to sew velcro on all of Dad's pants " ...which made me think perhaps there

were slacks with velcro fasteners. If anyone knows, you guys are the ones who

would! Thanks for any information you may have.

Definitely a possible " use it or lose it " issue. But when I get a chest

cold, I start to have shortness of breath. When my doctor listens, he hears

lots of wheezing. I don't have asthma. But my body sure acts like that.

Of course, as you know, shortness of breath can also indicate other serious

problems. When in doubt, talk with a doctor about symptoms like this. It's

way to easy to blame MSA and miss another serious and managable disorder.

Ellaine,

I don't know of any trousers with velcro fasteners, but I know that

Nan Todd wrote about sewing velco on Jim's trousers. It may be

somewhere in the archives, or possibly in Charmagnes " helpful hints " .
