  • Ooooh - lookie what I found now!

    As most of you know, I plan to recover mostly solo - and am currently up to 2 pages of things to do, buy, prepare, etc. before Feb 5th.

    I found a pretty cool combo bed rail/organizer that should make getting up a bit steadier, and the pouch will eliminate at least a few items I'd planned to velcro to my nightstand - LOL ;-).

    Regards,
    Pam

    Wow, Pam you ARE on the ball!

    I hope you do like I did and find that you did not need but about half of what you got in preparation for the big day. But, with MY luck, if I didn't have it there , I would have needed it! So I think it's good karma to be prepared for the worst and be grateful when you don't need it. That is a cool little deal and I hope you can stash the TV remote in it and keep it safe from the men.........

        That looks pretty cool, I wonder if it could be used on a solid wood platform type bed (NOT talking about a water bed). I have found your to do list super helpful.

          Sharshe, that list has grown by about 2x since I posted - LOL. Even my Type AAAA friends on here are telling me I'm FAR too prepared ;-).

          I have redundancies upon redundancies ...
