Re: Bruise on back from bar

[Guest guest]

ok, I got it.

I had to look at Darbi's bar tonite, and hers only hits her butt when

she sits on it. No bruises here but I think I have a solution. Take

the clamp off and turn it around. One side sticks out further than

the other the standard way they're put together. So that Ponseti's

name is on top and upright. Just turn the letters upside down and

re-attach the bars. Then, you could possibly pad it with something

soft, yet not to bulky. like a few layers of fleece or something,

just on the side that touches.

not sure exactly how to do that, but I think turning the camp around

would be a good start. Poor little guy! this is a new one for us,

thanks for bringing it up and let us know how it works out k?

Thanks for the idea. My husband actually came up with a pretty good solution:

he took a

piece of the Prince Lionheart foamy stuff that you use to cover the edges of

coffee tables

and hearths and stuck it to the center of the bar, covering the side and top

only, then put

a loop of clear duct tape over it so that it wouldn't come off. Now it's nice

and cushy and

the bruise is going away.
