    If you could tell us if it matters whether they are boxers or the fitted boxer/briefs, we could get some in Monday's mail.  We only have two each med. and lge. of the loose boxers, but have 8 each of the boxer/briefs.  Sew Much Comfort asks for only the loose-leg boxers for their adapted (side opening) ones, but I am guessing that it wouldn't matter if they weren't amputees?

    CSM Jerry R Callaghan:

    I did however really misunderstand the Staff and failed miserably to indicate the need for boxers. Medium and large - in a perfect world they would be in equal quanities as the data was rolled up it appears that we have a fairly equal break out of folks that are medium and large.

    CSM -- I will add boxers (Med & Large) to the list -- no problem.  But, as Gran asks in the post above, do you mean *boxers* or *boxer briefs* or a combination?  What quantity?  unlimited? 

    Thanks!

    --Marilyn

    Jerry, can you accept the golf clubs, take a few publicity photos and then get someone to sell them on EBAY for you? I know you were ticked off at those guys - with good reason.

    Sorry for not being clear.  Boxer briefs - i'm a toad for missing them on the inventory I was given.  I'll spare you the reason several Doctors have asked me to keep these on hand. I was doing some Late night - early morning work when I put the list together. Sorry!

    CSM -- hey, no worries!!!!  Boxer briefs it is -- Med & Large -- I'll put unlimited quantities till you tell us different!  Anybody thinks of anything else our wounded need -- give us a shout!

    Take care (and I MEAN that!)

    I couldn't, it borders on Unethical practices outlined in our Federal Joint Ethics Regulation , Military Legal folks would have a hay day with a Senior person doing such a thing. It would put everything i'm doing with the tremendously kind supporters and it puts everything at risk and I would never jepordise helping our recovering Warriors.

    Sorry...it was the unenlightened civilian in me speaking. :)

    A question to anyone about the boxer briefs...was there ever mention of if color matters? I saw there are white and grey/black available. Is either preferable?

    Gran,  your exactly correct. Boxer underwear is the best description to clarify. The loose leg are merely easier for people to pull up and down while using a bed pan that don't require as much repositioning. Either type boxer is absolutely fine and would be well recieved.
