Has Anyone Had to Rearrange Their Furniture to Be More Safe? Posted: 05-08-04 01:38am
I ask this because when my husband has bad
sz's, I (naturally) try to move things out
of harms way. If he gets close to a big
piece of furniture I stick pillows in
front of it so he can't ram into them. I
wonder how other people handle that. Do
you just safe guard it when it happens,
like I do? Or do you permenantly have
them just moved out of the way, against
the edge of the wall or something?
Also, we just bought a new bed and it's
very high off the ground. He has had sz's
in the old bed we had which was alot lower
to the ground so falling off wasn't a big
issue. And also it was against the wall
so whenever anything happened, the wall
would stop him. But now, we have a high
bed, and have changed the bedroom around
so the bed is not againt the wall anymore
(needed a change of senery). I'm
wondering has anyone ever seriously
injured themselves from falling off the
bed during a seizure? He'd had some close
calls, but he can usually tell they're
coming and he'll go out into the living
room, where it would be more safe if he
did have one.
Any input you have to add to this would be
great!
Thank you.
