Another way to take stairs is sideways... or at an angle I guess to be more specific...

I just bought new firm large pillows, and new corrugated mattress pads/covers...foam type. (My housekeep comes tomorrow so she can put them on!)

I have to sleep on my back, so I need full support under my knees (thigh to heel) and a pillow under each arm, and at least one under my head (two under my head if I'm in a phase of aspirating more.)

I have swing lamps attached to the wall on either side of the bed... so I can have them over me or push away at will...not having to bounce around in the bed just to put the lamp on.
