(activities of daily living, like eat at a table, shower, etc.) He was totally bedridden before. He has a long way to go and still has contant pain but to a much lesser degree. But there is a plan now and all the health pros are very positive. Best news is he's positive. <br /><br />I would love to know what pattern you used for your slim pants if you geet to see this request. Can anyone recommend a slim pant pattern and why do you prefer it?Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-91574700272762508912013-05-24T12:22:53.391-04:002013-05-24T12:22:53.391-04:00Coco's are darling.

I could never wear really skinny pants, but I really like how I look in narrower pants. How is your husband doing?

It would look like an intentional style line.

But given the source of the pants, I just have no faith that is what is happening in this case. Once I get wearing them I will let you know if that is the case. Next thing you know maybe we'll see side darts on butts like on Brazilian jeans! I think you have to have a Brazilian butt to make that one work, however!<br /><br />Thanks for that link, Helen.
