T-shirts

We had one more task before Forry's surgery. The sheet from the doctor's office suggested that he have some plain cotton shirts to wear under his brace. The shirts are supposed to prevent chaffing. I think they will probably also make wearing the brace more comfortable in the summer heat.

We went over to the Valley Mall and stopped in at Macy's. The Men's Wear department is on the upper floor. Both the UP escalator and the elevator were out of order. We had to walk out of Macy's and out into the Mall to take the escalator up. Then walk back over to Macy's. We found the shirts we were looking for as well as a pair of light weight loose shorts for him to wear. That was the easy part.

The hard part was getting checked out. There were only two women in line ahead of us in the only check-out in the Men's Wear. The first lady was returning something she didn't have a receipt for and that took a while. The second lady had three pair of men's shorts. She wanted to return one of the pairs and then she wanted to order two different colors of the other two pair in a larger size. It took a while for the clerk to find a picture of the desired shorts and for the lady to pick which colors she wanted. Then she wanted them shipped to her. Since they didn't have them in stock in the store, the clerk said there would be no shipping charge. But, it took her a while to figure out where she could find a place to remove the charge. After standing in line for over 35 minutes, I finally got my stuff paid for (after telling the clerk three different times that "No, I don't want a new Macy's card!).

Then we had to walk out and halfway through the Mall to find a Down elevator that was working as Forry was reluctant to try to go down an escalator using his walker. Then we had to walk all the way back into Macy's to get to the door we had originally come in through - and where we had parked.

 I should have just gone on-line and ordered the darn shirts!
