Best wishes to you! Re the clothes, I did the same - used and still using clothes I had from when they fit at one time in the past...it's a very cool thing. As well, there is a SAVERS store nearby, and I have been going there since my surgery, getting 2nd hand clothing that is' in great shape, wearing it and then bringing it back to donate for resale, and buying more. Like having a giant inexpensive closet and the money goes to a good cause. At some point I'll buy more new clothing, right now I've only bought 3 new shirts - and they are too big after only 2 weeks...so Savers it is..
