King size.

Queen size and double and so on are all decently priced. Jump up to king
and you're selling your soul for a new mattress. I also almost paid $80 for
a set of sheets (looked at Zellers, Walmart and Winners) until we found
really good priced sheets ($35, I believe, for king, queen, double, single)
and my mom bought me 2 sets.
I have been looking at The Brick and that Mattress Mattress (The Mattress
Store?) and for a decent mattress, or what the sales guy tells me is
somewhat decent, it's running around a grand. I haven't checked out Sleep
Country, but I definitely will.

Yes, I talked to my grandma yesterday. She's babysitting tomorrow

because
I
have this job interview in the morning, then an appointment at the bank,

so
I'm going to sneak into the doc. I've recently got a family doctor for

us,
and there's always walk ins, it seems, but this guy seems to do me no

help.
Sure, he's a doctor and all, and I have no doubt good and qualified and

all
that, but last time I was in to see him, he told me to not take Tylenol

3's
and to take Motrin. He took a look at my leg/hip, which was bruised

from
my
hip bone to half way down my thigh (in the shape of the emergency brake

and
about the same place the brake is, and just told me to take it easy on

my
leg until it heals. Now it's healed, but it sure doesn't feel healed.

This
doctor doesn't seem to be of any help.
I then went to see my old family doctor, the one who was our

pediatrician
as
babies and kids, and he told me I was out of shape and to get into

therapy,
as well as take up something like swimming, aerobics or yoga. He said

it
would get me in shape and help my body heal faster and better. As I am
still waiting to hear from the other insurance company, and have had

some
problems with our own that we just got straightened out, I have yet to

hear
back from the other guy, and I made a note to call them tomorrow.
(Nothing's open today due to Canada Day) So I hope to be able to get

some
stuff and take advantage of my grandma babysitting for a few hours

tomorrow.
Oh yea, first useless family doctor also said I might not be sleeping

well
and waking up stiff and sore because of my mattress, and to see about
investing in a new one. Price shopping around, I came up with figures

of
around $1000 for what the sales guys said was decent (not top of the

line,
but not bottom, but closer to bottom than top) and the prices go all the

way
up to over 2 grand. Money I would never ever be able to save up if my

life
depended on it.



Where the hell were you shopping, The Holt Renfrew of mattresses??? Go to
Sleep Country or someplace where you can get a mattress and boxspring for
under $500. Yeesh.

LOL I don't *need* such a large bed... I got it for free from the dad of a
good friend when my friend well, "died" and this bed is 100x better than the
old bunk bed that I was using. The bunk bed I was using that I got when I
was probably 12 had a futon on the bottom, resulting in very, VERY
uncomfortable sleep, and although my 'new' bed is 100x better, it speaks
volumes for my almost-deacade-old bunk bed. This new bed was free, it was
something I wanted soooo badly since I saw it in his room almost a year ago.
It's really nice, but the mattress is something that could be replaced,
although it's not so bad.

Wait until there's a sale, because a hundred times on The Bear, you hear a
bloody commercial about mattresses and from what I've heard, King sizes can
be affordable, just shop around and watch out for commission sales.

Hey, you guys. My eldest swears she's going to Edmonton next month to
celebrate her eighteenth. I wonder if she'd actually give you guys a
call, if I suggested it?


Oh for sure! When is she coming up? We'll show her Whyte Ave, right Kat?
Go ahead and email me at cme_ (at) telus (dot) net and if she's

comfortable
enough to give me a ring, I'll show her West Edmonton Mall. lol

Whyte Ave???? LOL,,,,,straight for the party part of town. I'd worry if I
were you Cele

Naughty girls. I had a blast there when I was in town.


Heh. Thanks for the heads up, Lisa! :-)

Turns out, she's too broke to go. She's just gonna have to wait until
she's legal here, or in the Yukon, or wherever.

Bummer for her, huh?

Did either doctor perform a basic neurological examination? For
example, did they shine a light into your eyes, have you close your
eyes and touch your nose with each forefinger? Did they test your
reflexes by hitting your arms and legs with a little rubber mallet
near the elbows and knees? Did they have you do a few other activities
along those lines?

Cele


Alright... I stand corrected... No doctor has really checked me out, if you
put it that way. Something like that, I assume, would require more than
just a simple call to the doctor to make an appointment...

Actually, that's all it SHOULD take. Calling the physician's office and
making an appointment. Once there, explaining the problem, should prompt
such an examination. If not, find another doctor. Simply put, if you need
a referral, get one. See a neurology specialist.

Bingo, on all counts. Do it, Kat. You aren't helping your kid if you
don't stay well and healthy and ready for 20 years of childrearing.

Good luck.

Aww, bummer for sure. We were all broke at her age. The plus for her is
Kraft Dinner is probably still a main staple . Helps to find fun moeny
by eating cheap. Hope she's still doing well!
