Hi Dave,
I was also on a stryker frame, the old one where you were like a sandwich and
they turned you every two hours and I had the tongs in my head. I also have
the indentation where they were. I was on one for 6 months till they fused my
neck. I was in my car accident in 1963, a few years later they came out with
the bed version that turned you.
Do you have a lot of sweats?/ Lately, I can't seem to stop sweating on one side
of my body.....nothing seems to be wrong. This is driving me crazy!!!
