[TMIC] OT bed question

2010-06-01 Thread Kevin Wolfthal


Hi Friends,

I'm sorry I haven't been on as much as I'd like. I'm trying to
figure out my life now which is very different, and feel a bit
lost.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me. I need to buy
a new bed as mine is caving in and hurting my back. I can't
get out to bed shop, but I've heard that Sealy Posturepedic
makes the best mattress, and someone on tv recommended
medium hard? I'd like to hear your opinions.

Thanks,
Kevin

 Kevin, I wish the best for you, truly, I do.

We have a mattress that has a four inch foam topper that was added and it is
the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.  When we go on a trip, I really
suffer from the mattresses because they are so hard.  TMer's can probably
relate to that.  I do think it is an individual thing, tho.  Good luck in
finding one that works for you.  It is very, very important because a good
rest is imperative.  Hugs..Jeanne

Re: [TMIC] OT bed question

2010-06-01 Thread Pieter and Heather

Hi Kevin,

About 18 months ago we purchased a new bed.  It is a firm mattress with a 
pillow-top.

We are both finding it most comfortable.
Previously we had a firm bed without the  pillow-top.
Even my husband who does not have TM found the old one was hard on his 
shoulders and hips.


I know that there are special beds as well if you are concerned about 
bedsores etc.

From what I remember you are confined a lot of the time to bed.


I'm sure there are others who will be able to give you mroe advice.

Perhaps too you could check with your homeand health stores.
Or even with a doctor of physio or health care person.
I'm sure there are beds out there that would be good for you with the 
problems we all deal with with TM.


Let us know what you finally decide to do.

Heather in Calgary

Re: [TMIC] Shoes

2010-06-01 Thread Alle111
A few years ago I had a terrible pressure sore on my foot  so I know what 
you're going through looking for shoes. If alternate  between (high top) 
tennis shoes and earth shoes and by them being wider at  the toe I can take an 
insole and put it sideways for extra cushion on the  side.

[TMIC] Update

2010-06-01 Thread Jill Hammond
Hi, everyone, I would like to give you an update on what is happening.
Last week I received the results of both my latest PET scan and CAT scan.  I
am now considered to be in remission.   Yahoo!!.All of the prayers that
you offered were heard.   Now, I can look forward to putting my energy into
getting better.   I am now volunteering once a week at the Cancer Center
where I received treatment.  Now, it is as a worker for the American Cancer
Society working with new patients.  When you have Been there, done that,
it is much easier to talk to someone about their concerns or questions.  I
am contemplating some other volunteer activities and also some work with my
last employer as a volunteer.  

 

I do not have any more tests for several months, but will keep you informed
of any changes.  On behalf of all of Team Hammond (Mike, Jill, Joel and
Janel) I want to thank you for your thoughts, prayers, emails, calls and
cards, they all meant a great deal to us.  God bless each of you and we'll
be talking to you soon.   All the best, and all our love,   Team Hammond

Team Hammond,

Thank goodnesswhat a great message!!  Please know how wonderful
that makes your tm family!  Continue your trip to return of strength and we'll
keep you in our prayers..you know we have much to be thankful for,
too..our Mike is up and running (or some such),

In my opinion, your decision to get into the volunteer mode, has a lot to do
with the strength you've gained through the power of prayer and the folks
who were by your side through this long journey, the medics and the tmers.

Again, thanks for keeping us informed.  Please continue the same as time 
goes along.

Hugs to the whole team!

Re: [TMIC] OT bed question

2010-06-01 Thread Barbara Alma


Hi Kevin,
 
Ahh, the subject of a bed, it's just so very personal.  I've had a firm 
mattress for many years due to some back problems.  Nothing as serious as TM, 
but always needed the firm support for the past 20 or so years.  I currently 
have a firm mattress with a pillowtop.  It has the reinforced steel sides, so 
it doesn't dent in where you sit on the edge.  As others have stated, the 
pillowtop gives the comfort on top of the support.  

Everyone of us has such different needs for comfort and support here.  If you 
have the option of going out and trying out mattresses, that is really the best 
way to purchase.  We tried many types, including the memory foam.  The memory 
foam didn't work for me, as I have enough trouble rolling over on a regular 
mattress, but absolutely cannot roll over on a memory foam mattress.  On the 
one we have, I can grab onto the side of the bed and get an assist, and it's so 
much easier to roll myself over and position myself where I want to be.  

The height of the mattress/bed frame, etc should also be taken into account for 
ease of getting in and out of bed or transferring when you think of your 
purchase.  Good luck and I hope that you find something that will give you many 
years of comfortable sleeping in the future.

Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
