| Brenda: Doesn't look like it. I tried the bumping method and shoving it with my hands. Didn't do much. |
| Brenda: I don't like pain meds either. They have or used to have a tendency to put me to sleep, especially if I take them during the day. I keep a little tylenol on hand just in case. But yeah. I figure as long as I can get some heat on what is hurting and get some sleep, I'm usually good the next day. |
| Brenda: Yup, messing with your neck is no fun. And for me it is worse because of the brain surgery. That left my neck muscles weakened, so when my neck is in the wrong position. Yeah. |
| 6ixStringJack: So you can't budge the bed at all on your own, even by bumping it with your body or anything then? Let me think on that. |
| 6ixStringJack: Know what you mean about the pain too. I don't ever take pain meds, but I had some old ibprofrin lying around that my aunt gave me years ago and ended up taking 3 pills over that time. That's the cool thing about not taking meds and being sober for so long. They REALLY worked, and almost instantaniously. Just one tiny ibprofrin and in 5 minutes the pain was gone, just like that. |
6ixStringJack: Oh no... I was doing something wrong myself and screwed up my neck just a few weeks back. Feeling good now, but on and off for about 10 or so days I'd wake up and for about an hour I could hardly turn my head to the right and I told my old man I felt like Michael Keaton in his batman suit.  |
| Brenda: I hope I can get some help because my neck is starting to complain. And trust me when I say you do not want your neck going out. Hurts like a son of a b. |
| Brenda: Oh, trust me when I screw up big time, I can turn the air blue with my cursing too. |
6ixStringJack: Yeah. Get it moved back when you get some help and get yourself some nice baking pillow(s) and you should be good.  |
| 6ixStringJack: Bah... It happens. I do "dumb" stuff all the time when I'm doing projects. If you don't count the swearing, "why would you do that?" is probably one of my most used phrases mid-project. |

| Brenda: I actually should of thought of moving it closer to the wall when I realized no head board. Dumb-dumb me. |
| Brenda: I've looked at those back pillows with arms and it comes back to me moving the blasted thing closer to the wall. I will. Just have to get off my duff to do it. |
| Brenda: There is help I might be able to get and I will be talking to this person, hopefully on Tuesday. |
| Brenda: There is help I might be able to get and I will be talking to this person, hopefully on Tuesday. |
| 6ixStringJack: You could even get yourself one of those back pillows with arms or something similar for your back if you did that, to make it even more comfortable once you're set up. |
| 6ixStringJack: That needs to be done, otherwise you'd have to find something very sturdy to fit back there that you can sit on, and then find additional padding to cover it so you're not uncomfortable. That's a lot of work and you might not actually end up comfortable with that setup anyhow, where I think you'd enjoy your time in bed sitting up much more if you could get somebody to help you move the entire thing back up against the wall as far as it will go. |
| 6ixStringJack: Is there any possible way you could get some help from management or a fellow tennant in your building to move the bed back where you need it? |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh... Okay. Yeah. I don't think you even need padding then. If it's that hard to move even without carpet, I doubt you'd need it even when you got it backed up to the spot you need to put it. I'd still recommend some furniture pads to put at the ends of the frame that would bolt into the headboard to protect the wall, just in case.
|
| Brenda: Yeah, I have been figuring out how to get the bed closer to the wall. Like I said it is heavy and moving the box spring and mattress off of it would be awkward. |
