Support Urgently Needed.


Violaine
 Benoist-Gironniere

On Monday I was optimistic, I thought Maurits, my occupational therapist, understood that I urgently needed better support to sit in bed.

Richie and I showed him exactly where I need to be supported, when he left, Maurits was going to find a company that would help me with my support problems when sitting in bed.

Great I thought, until he sent me a link to a company that have cushions to help you lie better but had nothing to support me sitting.

I couldn’t believe it when I got the mail from Maurits, instantly I felt abandoned, not a nice feeling at all, especially when I need urgent help.

Seems that Maurits, hasn’t got a clue about where to look for support for me in bed, so, I have been looking for companies, which make such support, so I can sit properly supported in bed.

I can’t believe that I am surfing the net looking for solutions, when Maurits, has a PHD in Occupational Therapy, should be knowledgeable and be able to find the relevant company.

What is also incredible s that I asked for help to find a solution to my problems trying to maintain a good sitting position in bed and my therapist is looking for the opposite.

This leaves me feeling thoroughly unsupported; I hope that I can find a company that can provide me with this much needed support.

Support which would be wonderful as I am experiencing quite a lot of pain, discomfort because I can’t sit up, I constantly corkscrew and collapse to the left side of the bed.
