spending a week in pyjamas and robe was the last thing I wanted to do; I wasn't going to be sick, and that's what sick people do. If you are of a similar mindset, consider sweatpants and large t-shirts instead of a robe and pyjamas.
I have made a card with a collage of a photo of dh, ds, and me and dh on holiday - I'll put this on my bedside. I've also loaded on to my iPod my favourite music to listen to as I know it will relax me.

Back to the topic - for me personally, spending a week in pyjamas and robe was the last thing I wanted to do; I wasn't going to be sick, and that's what sick people do. If you are of a similar mindset, consider sweatpants and large t-shirts instead of a robe and pyjamas.
