    Recommendations/suggestions for a hospital bed?

    As the stairs become more difficult, I'm thinking about moving to a first floor bedroom. Any setup would require some expense (at least a new mattress, or an adjustable bed). During a couple of recent hospital stays I was impressed how comfortable the hospital beds were, and thought it made...

    Ex

    Wish I would have known this in the restaurant on Father's Day. It would have explained why I was lying on the floor so long. Something good came out of it. The nice lady kneeling beside me cradled my head in her hand in such a way that I had the feeling she was a nurse. After some strong...
