It is amazing the way an LAL Mattress can change your life. I'm more than a little disturbed by the trend toward not paying to prevent wounds has gone. I know most quads on this list use something else, but I have never had a wound heal as fast as when I had that. Now, take good care of it and watch Ebay for any deals!
I'm very happy for you! john ----- Original Message ---- From: Debbie Hamilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2008 6:49:28 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Alternating Air Pad I paid $1095 for the aerodyne mattress. I put in for a reimbursement through Medicare and they told me they would pay 70% of the price. I'm still waiting for my check, but I'm really pleased with the mattress. My bed sores have all healed.

It was not full size, it was only used on the middle of my body. At least I never felt it in my shoulders and when I saw it, it looked like it was just covering the butt area. I never heard it or felt it. I didn't think I had one, until a nurse said it was on. I tried the tube ones before and hated it. This one was not so big. And they just turned it off to help dress me.
