Do your back pains and discomforts worsen in colder weather?

My wife said thanks for the leads to buy fabric. There are some big material outlets in Philadelphia, but I hate to drive down there because Philly is not an easy city to drive through. It’s also not a very safe city. It’s not like it was 25 years ago.

Your most welcome, of course. Hey, if she can't find a reasonable price on waffle-weave cotton, she could sew a thermal shirt inside your robe as a lining...just cut it up the middle and sew the edges under the front hems. It wouldn't go all the way to the bottom, but it would hold plenty of warmth on your back, hips, and arms. Aside from her hands, those were my sister's achiest parts.
