Why a full Wheel?? that is one thing I was wondering about---Right now I sleep in bed beside my wife on a regular queen bed, she turns me once or twice a night, but my circulation is slowly getting worse and turning me is hard on her. I'm not sure if I may need to go in a hospital bed eventually--would be nice to be able to have a bed that could let me set-up in bed (adjustable) We are wondering if I get a alternating air mattress for just my half of the bed , if that would work?? thanks, Dan H. ____________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, July 12, 2010 3:13:00 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Regarding...

My circulation is getting worse so my DME is looking into getting me an alternating air mattress, my insurance makes me pay 20% out of pocket so I guess this will be added to the $2,700 dollars i'm paying payments on for my out of pocket money on my new wheelchair that I had to get a few months ago. Hope ya get completely healed !

In Bed Again I have been in bed 24/7 for the last 3 months and one week (yup, you start counting the days and weeks) and my wound has closed. But it is super super vulnerable so I'll be sitting up in bed for X-number of weeks before I graduate to getting back in the chair as well as getting the proper seating (wheelchair cushion and perhaps a new power chair after 11 years).
