Description
Three pairs with non-slip silicone soles. Thick, soft socks with silicone grips on the bottom, made for cold floors — infusion chairs, hospital hallways, and the couch afterwards. Soft enough to sleep in.
Why a 3-pack. Some weeks you go through more than one pair, so there's always a clean set in the drawer.
Fabric. 95% polyester, 5% spandex, with silicone grips.
Care. Wash cold and tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Why It Matters
Grip matters there. Hospital floors are hard and slick, and a sock with a silicone sole behaves differently than one without.
The other thing worth noticing in this category: the items that get the most use are the ones that work on both kinds of days. Something bought for a treatment room that also earns a place in the sock drawer is the better purchase.

You walk into a room and cannot remember why. A word you have used your whole life is suddenly gone. Cognitive changes during and after treatment are common and recognized, and being unable to point to them on a scan does not make them imaginary.
