Re: painful heavy blankets

[Guest guest]

Reading your post about heavy blankets being painful - Ned (my husband) has

complained for years about blankets causing pain -- and so when we got a

hospital bed 7 years ago we starting draping the blankets over the raised

side rails and " clamping " the bottom sheet or blanket to the side rails using

clamps from Ned's workbench. Works like a charm. If extra blankets are

needed in the winter, we just lay them on top of the one that is clamped to

keep the weight up off of his legs.

Hopefully this idea will help you or someone on the list.

Judy,

Charlotte also complained of that same problem and I stuffed a pillow at the

bottom of the bed between the panel and the mattress, then stuffed the sheet and

blanket in to hold it up on the pillow which kept it off her toes. Like a tent.

Take care, Bill Werre
