Difficulties getting and moving in bed.

Recently had mastectomy implant and reconstructive surgery for DCIS and had my other breast reconstructed to match the one that had the DCIS,I was finding it so difficult and painful to get out and move in bed when I thought of a adjustable bed stock (I didn’t know that’s what it was called till I found one)
it has been a life saver,I though I would post here as it may useful to others.
It was $51.50 or you can rent them for around $10.00 a week I bought it from a medical supply company.
  • I hired one of these from the hospital.  It was amazing the difference it made for me to get in and out of bed.  
  • I’ have just started paying off a new bed. It is a motorised one to raise the head and foot of the bed 
    i could only afford the long single but I only use part of the bed anyway and I will be able to get rid of all the pillows and wedges that I use in my queen bed
