During
my father's recent hospitalization, he was advised to purchase a new
bed - one that was higher and with a firmer mattress. After circa 60
years of using his former bed, he agreed to dispose of the double
dark-wood bed that he had shared throughout his entire married life
with my mother - in order to purchase a brand new single bed, that
was higher and with a firmer mattress. He wrote me a check after I
had researched online, and taking the money from my bank account, I
set off to buy his new bed. DONE!
Additionally,
on return he renewed his desire for a hospital-style table that could
be wheeled about to attend to his needs whether in his recliner or
bed. Due to hassles with a specific bank, he had to get someone else
to purchase the table and write them a check - the stupid bank had
blocked his debit card as he was unable to talk to the idiots at the
fraud section on the telephone in person due to being
hospitalized/unable to pass the banks security checks - and the bank
- of which I am departing as soon as my next statement processes and
I can therefore apply elsewhere - would not talk to me on his behalf
as all other dept and institutions will.
Suffice
to say, my father has recently acquired a new table and bed at
inconvenience to himself and others. The table arrived first - in
'to-be-assembled' pieces.
This
was to replace the former wooden bedside cabinet -
-
and chairside table, originally created from a cheese carton lid by
my father's father.
I
got to work...
