I would like first to thank Alan H for his X-kilt instructions they were a huge boon to me recently. As many of you know I recently had knee replacement surgery. One of my desires was to do something about the ubiquitous hospital gown A.K.A the "Buttless Wonder". The day after surgery as I sat on the bed I had my nurse fetch my duffle bag and announced that I was going to "do something about the evil travesty my manly body was clothed in"! Immediatly the objections started, "but you Have those tubes and the drain.......Pants just WILL not work. That was what I was waiting to hear, In triumph I announced in a loud voice....."Who said anything about PANTS?" from my kit I removed a rolled poly-cotton Khaki twill X-kilt and strapped it on. Tossing the gown in a heap I donned a black T-shirt and sweeping my pleats sat back down and relaxed on my bed covered quite decently fore and aft!!!!!!!!!! Immediatly the comments started: A kilt, I never thought of that.....where can I get one of those.....great idea......are you scottish? Again Thank you Alan for preserving my dignity and all you X Markers who convinced me that kilts are proper ANYWHERE
