Thanks for the tip.Check a Salvation Army thrift store.
Of course, buy a new mattress.
But the frame and mechanics are pretty common around here.
AWESOME NEWS I'M SURE SHE WILL BE SO GLAD TO BE BACK HOME I KNOW IWAS AFTER ALMOST THREE WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL!Good news. The bed is on order and will be here next Friday.
Bad news. Shirley comes home on Tuesday
Good news. Shirley had the staples removed from her scalp.
Bad news. Shirley said it hurt.
Good news. I didn't feel a thing.
Great to have a good family member to help.Saturday she had no therapy except for a supervised shower.
Today, Sunday Nothing scheduled but she got some wheelchair practice.
Her brother, Mike, has been a big help in preparing her bedroom and getting it ready for the hospital bed. This room was basically used to store all the stuff she hoarded. We vacuumed 3 times yesterday and today we shampooed the carpet there, the hallway, and the living room.Took about 3 hours. Without Mike I could not have done this. Every time I started, I got overwhelmed and depressed. Plus the exertion causes congestion in my heart and lungs.
It's good to have a Marine in the family. Besides it's fun to see a colonel run a vacuum and do manual labor. I have to say that in my 74 years on this spinning rock, Mike is the most honest person and has the most integrity of any one I have ever met.
You are truly Blessed....Saturday she had no therapy except for a supervised shower.

Today is Shirley's parole day. Taking her home.
Ready or not here she comes.

Prayers for you & the Mrs.....Wednesday, 15 March
She slept good and got in and out of bed just fine.
Home therapy nurse came by to evaluate her needs.
Guy from home therapy came by to set that up.
Occupation therapy will call tomorrow.
That's all the good news.
Bad news. Guess who fell today....Aw you guys are so smart.
I was so pissed that I picked her up in spite of my bad heart.
