I just love the bed stick. I’m having shoulder surgery possibly replacement on my right shoulder and I have the stick on the left side of my bed which I use with my left hand to pull myself up because I can’t use my right hand to help me. It is such a help to me and I need my hips done as well and it will be a double help. The only thing I would like to comment on is I wish the top of the stick was larger for example maybe the size of a golf ball because sometimes I think it might poke into me when I’m getting up. But in saying that it’s not pointy but smooth. I cannot see it would be injurious in anyway. And Alissa was wonderful to deal with. She’s so caring.
