Well, I see that we missed Skunkhunter's birthday yesterday. so .................


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Randy .

Good afternoon, Yard.

Happy belated birthday!

Thank you guys. Prettty much just another day in paradise.

Boy, life has a way of kicking you in the teeth. Patty got the results of her bone density test today. She has osteopenia AND Osteoporosis. Unless they can get her bone density back up she has a 17% chance of more bone breakages and 30% more in other parts of her body. And, it has been recommended that for both of us (her hip and Back and my back) to get a “hospital” bed. Meaning a bed that articulates along with a good mattress this time.

After talking to our ex daughter in law (worked in the furniture business for a few years) , Patty’s son, the surgeon and both the physical and occupational therapists, that’s the route we are gonna take. We have been unable to sleep in our bed for goin on 2 years because it hurts us so bad, So recliners it has been. But now, especially with Patty’s little Birthday breakup (pun intended) we really need to get back in real bed again.

We’ve decided on a mattress and articulating frame and probably will finalize the deal this weekend. There goes about 6G’s but we both know that for our continuing health and comfort it’s gonna be worth it. . And face facts, it may well be the last bed (mattress) we’ll need to buy at our ages.

Randy, you can't take all that money with you, so spending the cash for your health is a no-brainer. Just don't get too "frisky" breaking in that new bed.

Haha, not that much of a chance Tom. Upon the recommendation of 4 folks (3 in the medical field including Patty’s surgeon) we bought 2 full size mattresses and articulating beds. One will go in each bedroom (something we DO NOT like) but for safety reasons probably better. The Dr said she might have to use a cane or walker for up to a year for proper and complete healing and also because of the Vertigo. They’re gonna start un the vertigo once she gets released from rehab which looks like another two weeks at least.

Well, best of luck to Patty for finishing the rehab. We have to take it one step at a time to cure all our ailments.

Good morning Yard. I hope everyone is doing OK today.

I bought a split king adjustable bed when we moved. Not because I really wanted it but at the time it was that or nothing.

But I really like it aside from a few things. You could probably do flips on one side and the other person wouldn't notice. Plus being able to elevate your feet and head without the other person having to do the same is nice.

That DOES sound good M/B.

Now all we gotta do is wait a couple three weeks.
