Think function, not fashion when seeing doctor When older adults need to see the doctor, functional clothing is more important than fashion, points out Carol Bennett, Oregon State Univer sity Extension agent in Morrow County. Here are some ideas: A trip to the lab for a blood test means you’ll need to have your elbow free. Even if it's only a blood pressure check, a sleeve can get in the way. A short sleeve or a long sleeve that can be pushed above your elbow will help. When you need to undress, a two- piece outfit with a pullover or front opening top is easier to manage. Some women find two-piece sweat suits a good idea because they’re warm, comfortable and fit loosely. Front-opening sweatsuits have the advantage of not messing your hair. You may want to leave your figure-control undergarments at home and wear minimal underwear because foundation garments are usually difficult to get on and off quickly. Pantyhose usually must be remov ed and can be a bother to put on again. But knee socks might not need to be removed and are warm. Most clinics involve several floors of offices with various specialties. You'll get around easier in low- heeled or flat shoes. Think function, not fashion, when visiting the doctor.
