omg do we reallllly get a posh bed after surgery?

i think most hospitals have the electric beds now, i remember in 2001 at salford royal, and they were phasing them in then, they replaced them ward by ward. they are good once you get comfy in them.

I was NHS in a Nuffield hospital.

Very strange having tea in a pot and consommee and yoghurt placed neatly on a tray.

Most NHS hospitals have electric beds and here in Huddersfield they have a special area in a ward for bariatric patients - and extra large chairs in outpatients.

Its great when you've lost and realise 2 of you would fit in a chair you filled months before

I'm like you Dawn... but John (Glenville) recommended a brilliant pillow, been so much better...

I had an electric single bed in hospital for 3 days in June... it was SUPER... even though I'm such an awkward sleeper with my spine...

It made a difference to my stay... xxx

Hey Bev, what is the pillow called? My other half suffers terribly with his neck and back (compressed discs and arthritis) and has terrible trouble at bedtime. Would like to get him one to try.

Thanks x

I went to Dolan park had electric bed own room /bathroom still couldn't wait to get home lol

 

[Glenville]

where do you get them from?

The buckwheat pillow is really great. This is the site I directed Bev to: Buckwheat Pillows Filled with Organic Buckwheat Hulls Direct from UK Grower.

If you get one, I would suggest you get a spare cover for you will want to wash the original and having a spare makes it easier to cope with the filling. Good luck. xx

I love the L&D they have electric beds best nights sleep I'd had for years. They also have the extra wide examanation tables, chairs and commodes. i'm luck as I didnt need them as I'm all belly and not bum, hips and thighs but was good to see and the chair was real nice as I could curl up on it
