Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2004Thank you all
I would like to thank you all for the wonderful advice on helping me to choose a mattress. I was really touched that so many people took time to write back to me, and so quickly too. I'll let you know how we make out. Joe in Florida >I would like to thank you all for the wonderful advice on helping me to >choose a mattress.

RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. >I actually got my new memory foam mattress today, so will let you know >how it goes with that. At first it felt a little too firm, just an oddness- since it does not move the way a spring mattress does. IN t he night though, when i woke up I felt really cozy- sort of cocooned in. I thought it would be a problem to turn, but it was not. Perhaps my S-I area feels better today too. It is hard to say after only one day. One thing I would like to say is that these new mattresses are high, and so if you are getting a steel mattress frame- check into a low rise as the bed may be too high with a regular frame. Mine seems quite high and I am debating whether to exchange it for a low rise or not. I will have to do some thinking on it. I did not see everything together ahead of time since the mattresses were specially ordered. This is a Sealy SANG system. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. I have a regular double bed. Bob laughs every time he sees me "climb into bed" with my short little legs. If I sit back so my knees are properly supported, my feet don't hit the floor. If I scoot forward so I touch the floor, my legs are extended. LOL I have been wanting to try one of the memory foams. Let us know how you feel after about a month.

The one I have is really very firm, and it is as if every part of your body is supported. At first when I lie down it seems too firm almost, but then it soon seems to be bery cozy. I had a good mattress before, a Sealy posturepedic Luxury firm- but it is already 20 + years old and I needed a better spare bed.

When the shuttles fly I watch them on TV until they lift off and then go out in my back yard and watch them go up. It's really nice if you're into that. My hobby is sea kyaking. In the summer I launch off the beach real early so I can sit a couple of miles off shore and fish while I watch the sunrise. It's the most peaceful thing I've ever known. Sorry for rambling - thats 10 times what you asked for.

Walking on the beach and surf fishing. Jo Joe, We lived in Grand Island, between Eustis & Leesburg, for about 11 years until 2000. We were 50 miles from Orlando and I loved living there.

Maybe that's why groaning and moaning,,,naaah. That is the anguish of taxpayers opening their wallets. > My son suffers from Crohns Disease so I've spent a lot of time at Shands > hospital in Gainesville.

Did you know that Leesburg City Hall is haunted? hmmm, didn't know that at all and we've driven through Leesburg sooooooo many times (my husband and I used to go down to Orlando several times a year - to the opera and to work art shows, not to see the Mouse). Don't rightly recall the City Hall though, is it actually on 441? That's about all of Leesburg I know. I worked at Shands, on and off, for years in several different capacities. Been gone altogether since August '99 though. Last job was a part-time unit clerk on the GI floor...... lots of crohns and other GI ailments. (one thing I can say about Shands, the employee benefits are *good* - of course, like any hospital nowadays, they do work you to death.)
