Let's Help a Disabled Trans Person Recover from Top Surgery with a New Bed and Bidet!
Would you be able to get rest in these conditions?
- Having a 20 year old broken bed with a hole in the center
- Having to pull yourself up to the side of the bed and rolling out of bed in a literal way
- Waking up and repositioning often when sleeping on either side or back due to body bending in uncomfortable ways
- Waking up with severe shoulder and back pain every day
- Having a mattress topper that barely helps with comfort and makes it even more difficult to get out of bed
- Not being able to share the bed with anyone lest you both end up smooshed in the middle
Well for my friend, this is their reality when
they go to bed.
Dealing with chronic pain due to various disabilities is not fun, and it's even less manageable when you can't get restful sleep.
Sleep is incredibly important to anyone, but especially those who deal with chronic pain. With more rest, one is able to tolerate their pain a little better. Without rest, already existing conditions could worsen or new conditions can develop. I want my friend to sleep more to prevent new symptoms or issues.
My friend is getting top surgery very soon. For those who aren't aware, top surgery is a procedure done for transmasculine folks to have a chest they are happy with. While recovering from surgery, my friend will have to keep their arms mostly by their sides and can't move around too much or they might aggravate their fresh wounds.
It is very important for my friend to have a suitable place to rest and sleep while they recover from surgery, and equally important that they are able to clean themselves after using the restroom.
This is why we are fundraising for both a bed and a bidet; so
they won't have to roll on their new chest wounds right after the
procedure and so they can clean themselves properly while having
little use of their normal arm range of motion. Not only will the
new bed help them with their surgery recovery, but it will also do
wonders for their chronic pain.
Thank you so much for donating and sharing this campaign! You
have contributed to sweet dreams and less pain for a wonderful
person who needs some relief!
