Help may be available

Yesterday I wrote a letter to the local Office on Aging. I've been searching for assistance with or hopefully free dentures. My teeth cracked and broke as a result of a couple accidents. Although they don't have any help they gave me a number for another program that may be able to provide some assistance. The program is "Relative Caregiver program. It is a program that assists grandparents who are raising their grandchildren." This is probably a local program for our area but there may be one near you. I'll let you all know the outcome.

Incidentally, I want to share something that has helped alleviate some of the pain and relieved my lack of restful sleep. I bought an air mattress to sleep on. They have some that are for people up to 300# and more. They cost from $10 to $100+ depending on the manufacturer and the thickness of the mattress itself I guess. They come in all sizes from Twin to King and are made by many companies. Some have quilted tops, some include sheets or covers. A lot of them come with their own electric air pump so you don't have to bend over to manually pump air into the thing. The ones I bought are from Walmart. They are single height so I stack one top of another so I don't have to fall in bed although I'm often to that point from taking care of my 7 y/o granddaughter. LOL I've never slept better! I plan to get another double height as soon as possible but I can't complain. There are so few and so little pressure points that it truly is just like sleeping on air. I just wouldn't let a cat in the bed unless its been declawed.
