ssdw1958 is there anyway you can get a bunch of pillows behind you? Or maybe one of those chair pillows w/ the arms? Idk?

Glad you made it safe!💕

I’ve been thinking about that I will going to have my son go and look around his apartment to find any and all pillows not being used. This morning after lying on my back for about 4 hours which at least 2 1/2 i was sleeping. I’ve just have been sitting and leaning forward doesn’t sound comfortable but I think I stretched out the kink I had in my back. Which is a good thing. Thanks for answering me.

I really don’t want to go back to the tundra temperatures hopefully it will start to break???

Thanks

Stay warm p. .s. It’s really bad when you think 40*f is warm LOL

ssdw1958 . The prices we pay to be warm.😀😀.

Good luck with the pillows. We’re having a heat wave. It’s getting up to 43 in Toccoa Ga today. I’m gonna go ride around in my gto for the first time in awhile. But it does have a good heater. No ac but right now it don’t worry about ac😀😀😀😀

I’m from Boston and would take New England weather over Chicago any day! Only a few really cold days a year, where as here. I can’t even talk about it. I hurt thinking about it!

You’re a card, Donnie. I remember “cruising” back in high school in my pal’s hot rod. Rust holes in the floor but had a great heater. 😃 gosh I’m old!!

ssdw1958 . I love novas. My first real hot rod was a 69 nova. I’ve had 6 novas over the last 60 years so I must love them.😍😍😍😍😍. A couple had holes in the rear quarter panels.

Maybe raise the front of the bed 🛏 with some bricks to slope it. I have to sleep at a slope to be comfortable. Maybe you need to extend your stay till it warms up 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🙏 Ken

Just a few ideas 💡 If you can use a heating pad or blanket to keep your back warm, and either tilt the bed up or tilt yourself up from the hips up to not put further strain on your back. Use pillows to do that. If you can, use a pillow to keep yourself slightly turned to one side or the other. Use you arms to roll yourself in/out of bed. I’ve had two back surgeries and learned allot. Even now I lift small weights to keep my biceps 💪 & triceps strong. Best to you!
