Free Standing Trapeze Bar

[Guest guest]

I called our favorite medical supply store and had them rent me and deliver and

set up a free standing Trapese Bar for my bed.

It has felt like my ortho doc inserted a large inflated pillow under my one

(RTHR) buttock and in the hospital and still now at home too I was always

straining to not have legs or me totally fall our of the left side of the bed

(wanting to be independent and not wanting to have to call for help to have

aides do the old " heeve ho 1,2 3 slide me over to the safer middle of bed "

routine. I found the Trapeze in the hospital gave me the ability to help myself

better to slide up when bed was flat and to eventually slide myself UP the

seamingly impossible steep HILL created by my right buttock.

It is one day short of one week from my Rt THR and I also DO have great

difficulty with doing my knee pump exercise so maybe all this is part of the

early hip recovery stage. I am assuming that pumping ability has to get better

as should that battle over that steep Right buttock Hump/HILL/Mountain while on

back in bed and the trickiness with the THR leg getting into and out of bed.

But the hospital taught me well and I know how to avoid pain and problems

because and learned a few sanctioned tricks of my own so I guess it is just a

waiting game I must continue to play for now.
