Hi guys,
Just a quick post for new members who may not know. If you are looking for medical equipment , incontinence supplies, and other caregiver necessities, check out your local senior center. many of them have all kinds of things that have been barely used, eg wheelchairs, walkers, guardrails. My local branch has an entire room filled with incontinence supplies. The cost of these things mount up, and it pays to inquire.
Just wanted to pass it along, as we need all the support we can get.
Still sleep deprived ,
Maureen
