Beds...
Esther and I got off topic on another thread. I thought the "off topic" subject deserved it's own thread because I recently had a miraculous healing. My mommy bought me a new bed. We got the Tempur-Pedic mattress, and I can not praise it enough. I had the worst bed in the world and just didn't realize it. I thought my aches and pains were all from the chemo/cancer. I took vicadin every night to get to sleep because I was in so much pain. One day not too long ago, I was getting out of my car and walking towards the oncology center. I did not know my friend was watching me. She asked what was wrong with me and why was I walking like that? I looked and felt like I was really old - and I mean REALLY old. I truly thought I would be using a cane or wheelchair before too long. After two nights on my new bed, I nearly jumped out of bed and stood straight. I can walk up the stairs without having to use the railing to pull myself up the stairs. Best of all, I have seriously reduced my intake of vicadin to nearly nothing. This was the BEST purchase I have ever made. Since my relapse, I have spent many days and nights in bed. The pain med's helped me through the pain - the bed has fixed the problem.
