Arthritis

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I have had a minor arthritic knee and hip for about 10 years now. Not surprising when you think of what they are carrying. I could control the pain with cocodamol but I was a bit loathe to take too many. Then about 3 years back I found a miracle cure…. well not 100% but it did wonders for the arthritis…..A new mattress. For 30 years I have suffered from hard mattresses with absolutely no give in them. This time I decided as I was the one who spend most nights sleeping on the mattress I would get the choice so I ordered a medium mattress. Gone are the nightly cocodamol, it is great. What reminded me of this was the bed in Paris, it was like a board. Jim finds it so comfortable. When we eventually get our bedroom finished I am going to order a half and half mattress. Jim’s side a board and mine a medium. The other mattress will go on a new bed. (The old one is strong enough for Jim and I so we don’t want to tempt fate.). We also need a new bed for Rachael’s room. Does anyone know where I could get a bunk beds made to measure? Then Rachael could be on the top bunk and Duncan on the bottom.
