One More Large Delivery

Today the new bed is arriving.

This is the bed that is replacing the bed that Raquel and I broke while it was in transit from one bedroom to the other. I am really looking forward to getting up off the floor and back into a bed that sits at a reasonable height.

In the meantime, the lift arrived and is sitting at the foot of the medical bed. Actually it's more of a looming over the bed - it's huge, awkward and ugly. It is not something that Martha Stewart would approve of in a bedroom design. Perhaps I should knit a cover for it?

I believe that we must have everything that a disabled person would want by now. We have all the smaller durable equipment - oxy-meter, blood pressure machine, a saliva suction machine, feeding pump, Dynavox - as well as the larger items - walker, manual and electric chair, lift chair, bed, lift, bed table - and all the repurposed items - helmet, gait belts, hockey pants and baby monitors.

I hope that after today we will not need any more deliveries to this address for quite a while. At least not for huge items that require us to get rid of something old to make room for the new.

Until later,
Ann and Dennis
