Thank you for sharing. This is the first post I have ever read something that speaks to the issue plainly. I am in a similar situation, in which wearing in the garments day and night is medically impossible. I always agonize about going in for a new temple recommend for this reason alone. As I was praying and pondering, I felt the distinct impression that Heavenly Father knows my heart. I fell further at peace and will plan to use your recommended phrase, “No. I don't wear them 24-7 for medical reasons, but I do my best and wear them when I can."
Thank you for having the courage to share your story and experiences with others.
