STOP THE PRESSES!
A few years ago, my mother had back surgery. I had read that satin sheets would make moving around in bed easier following surgery, so I purchased a set for her. Before my surgery, I thought about borrowing them, but I didn't. I used them last night, and oh how I wish I had been using them the whole time!! Impossible and near impossible moves were totally possible--even without all the grunting and groaning. They are expensive, but it will be well worth the expense.
5 or 6 weeks later, I have discovered that just having a bottom satin sheet works just as well. That will cut down on the expense. I am still using satin pillowcases on the pillows that I use between my knees--it just makes using the pillows easier in a stuporous state like when I come to consciousness to turn over.

ReplyDeleteI found satin sheets for a good price at overstock.com. I have only been able to find them in sets.
