bed question

deb asks the silver chain nurse,

when should we get a hospital-style bed? one that can be lowered?

i had not realised it was a consideration

... but it's a good one.

answer: when i have trouble getting out of bed....

on my way to bed i drink several large glasses of water

... to resist leg cramps ...it works.

i wake up to pee -- but no calf cramps. phew.

getting out of our rather high bed begins with throwing my legs up and off the bed -- a sure way to set off leg cramps.

i had only considered height and balance.

ditto getting up off my "sleeping" couch, it's quite high.

i'll spend the rest of the night on another, sitting, couch. it's lower, a bit easier to get out of... i hope :-)

while wandering,

i rinse my mouth with salt water.

that's me -- actually taking advice, amazing!, against sore mouth.

so far it feels good. see how the mouth feels tomorrow.

If all else fails -- get a bigger hammer
