Silky pants ($10) with a small print would be great - they make it easier to slide around and reposition in bed - without causing further injury. Tank tops and camisoles are great, because sleeves tend to become twisted. To keep feet warm, wrist warmers are great to wear around the ankles, because socks tend to become twisted.
