#GoodNewsMonday new sofa and more independence

We decided to get a new sofa a couple of weeks ago.

It recliners on both sides and has heat and air massage. Unfortunately it’s a couple of inches lower than my wheelchair and doesn’t lift me to standing, but I found the perfect work around. Placing a saskapole in the right spot so I can pull myself up.

There was definitely a learning curve as far as where to put the pole, but today I stood up on my own and transferred to my wheelchair by myself…finally.

As to why we did this, I really missed being able to cuddle with my husband and wanted a piece of furniture that would allow us to do just that. Once we move, we plan to get a king size adjustable bed with a tempurpedic mattress so I can sleep in bed with less pain. Just have to find the right place.
