Nice to know the Genie works, I told my kids I wanted one for my

birthday!

recovery. Just don't push too hard, give yourself plenty of time to

recuperate...I know you will.

something called the " Mattress Genie " . (www.mattressgenie.com) It's an

inflatable wedge shaped unit that goes under the head of your mattress.

It's attached to a small electric pump that will inflate it at the touch

of a button. It will raise and lower the head of your bed to the height

that will be most comfortable for you. I've had mine now for almost 3

years and still love it. It was the best hundred dollars I ever spent.

head of your bed with bricks or something like that.

problems holding the sats up to 90 even with my CPAP. I am a side

sleeper, not a back sleeper. Any advice? I am sure this is only

temporary as I just had the VATS biopsy. I think with exercise it will

improve. Right now I am switching to an overstuffed recliner for night

time sleeping. Do any of you have bricks under the head of your bed? It

is a suggestion my mother, retired RN, has made.
