The journal is so helpful to record meds and symptoms. Time collapses when pain and sleeplessness are in the picture. My team advised using the lift recliner as part of the bed to walking to sitting rotation. Unless it is completely flat the posture in the recliner puts more pressure on the lumbar spine. Walking even a little helped my pain in the first week and gave a lift to my spirits too! Thanks for posting the update. I’m sure others have, like me, wondered how things are going for you all. Keep up the great support work and all the best to your mom ( things do get better!)
