Our new hospice organization already supplied Dennis with a new bed. It is a pressure guard mattress. Since I can't explain it well, I have put the link to the particular mattress that he has right here.
Dennis' New Bed
It is eligible for medicare reimbursement, according to the ad.
I am not promoting this particular model, but I am promoting the type of bed. Dennis slept like a baby. Until last night, he had only used his medical bed twice. Now I am sure that I won't be able to keep him out of it!
As for me, I slept through the night for the first time in months. There were no wake up calls for repositioning because the bed automatically does this for Dennis.
I know that some of you out there are dealing with positioning issues and bed sores. If you are, I highly recommend that you find a way to get one of these beds into your home.
Of course, tonight might be different. Stay tuned.
