Bed sores can be deadly. I heard about them on TV. The Visiting nurse checks me for them about once a month. I developed two small ones at that hell hole called Ocala Oaks Rehabilitation Center. Once home and using an antibiotic on the sores they quickly healed.

I didn't know you can buy mattresses for those hosp beds that bend in 2 places. I figured they came with the beds and replacements would come from the same company.

I still don't think I can get in a bed of any kind alone with only one usable leg. I need a second person to lift the bad leg onto the mattress and help me pivot around on my butt. This is why I sleep in the recliner and spend most of my time there.

My son or Jane helps me get into the van and cars by lifting my right leg.
