Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Two topics HEATHER- If you can only do one exercise, do range of motion. I exercised for strength, and lost alot of range of motion in my wrists and Lspine. Try stretching after pain meds and hot bath in the AM. Don't get your body mad at you just before bed. The ache from exercise is usually better than losing function, in my 30 years of treatment. But if swelling gets worse (use a cloth tape measure), that is too much exercise. Don't panic, the swelling can come and go. Raising kids, I have four, the youngest is 16 now and almost a full- time job. But I am a guy, parenting is different for guys. KAREN/ re good mattress/ TRY memory foam, at least 2 inch, 3 inch better. Try overstock.com with their 3 dollar shipping/ thats where I got mine. If thats not thick enough, then get the mattress. The add-on pad is cheaper to try and easier to install than a whole new mattress. I have a piece in the back of my van I use at lunch time and of course one on my bed. Great stuff!!
