I just wanted to post this to show how it is possible to be social in spite of sitting
disability! Blue Birman and I were very comfortable when we spent some days together. We have a lot of fun and I always miss her!
The sunbed I am using is possible to fold when transporting in a car. I had to have the long legs specially made. Blue is also using a sunbed she got on IKEA.

Great photo Mosken! I too have beds. I say that in plural because I am always trying new ones and have three now. One doesn't flatten enough for me so
guests use it in the garden. Another, which is actually a fishermans bed (used for overnight fishing trips) is great but so heavy, it's too cumbersome for
regular use.
My latest acquisition is a sunbed for the garden. It has two wheels, so I can roll it around and has a thin mattress to make it more comfortable. I take it when I visit family and friends. You two look so cosy! Penny

Looks like you were having a great time. With a little bit of planning, anything is possible.

Thanks for posting this Mosken, we had a great time together and our men did too. Teddy was very interested in Goldie, but she hissed at him when he made
some scary noises. Goldie was in fact very afraid and tried to be scary. Teddy was just so eager to get in touch with her, so he was disappointed by the
kittens behaviour. We had a good laugh though.
It's a pity you live so far away from me, we can't just pop in for a cup of coffee or tea. I used to lay down on the sofa, but having a good bed in the livingroom makes a big difference. Penny, its so important to have several beds for us. The best one I have in my office/computerroom/messy cave. My sunbed also has two wheels at one end, and I can manage moving it without the thick mattress, I will buy a new and softer one which I also can move with the bed.

You can never have too many pillows, Unni, so maybe she forgets them with a hidden agenda.....

Thanks for posting the pics, Mosken. I have more and more trouble sitting too. I have to lie down on the couch to watch telly, but it's hard on Isabelle
and B. as they have to sit in uncomfortable chairs. So I'm happy to move to a bigger place so we can buy more sofa's for them to sit on.
The sunbed is a wonderful idea! I want to buy one for Isabelle's room so she can have a friend stay the night. But you gave me the idea that I can use it for myself too! |

"If you can't sit, lay down and socialize"
That was a really good slogan, blue! Well, it was not exactly a pillow, but my beanbag (saccosekk). I forgot my beanbag at home, but
we managed to buy one on the way up north. I cannot sleep without it. Pillows are not that important to me.. LOL if I only have my beanbag.

Hi Mosken and Unni, you both look like you had a good time together. its
great that with the right things in place anything is possible. I love the beds, what a great idea, we have Ikea here in Aus may have to invest in some of
those. I glad you girls got to catch up with each other, we need to socialize it helps us forget about our pain. You both have great smiles on your
faces.
 for sharing Mosken its a great picture.

A beanbag:

Hi Mosken, Thanks for the idea of the beanbag on the bed! I couldn't get up or down from one on the floor any longer but it would be great in the bed for extra comfort and support. Rosie
