I May Need A Baby Bed or Bed Rails...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563) 3 years ago

Well, my Mom is now threatening me…with a baby bed!! She is insisting that she is either going to buy me a baby bed or bed rails to keep me from falling out of our bed.

The other night I remember waking up to go to the bathroom and starting to get up, the next thing I knew I was on the floor between the bed and wall on my hands and knees and my arm was throbbing where I’d hit it on the wood frame of our bed (it’s a waterbed). It hasn’t bruised yet but I can feel it so I know I’ll have a doozy of one before long.

This isn’t the first time I’ve fallen either…not long ago I got up to go to the bathroom and suddenly it was like my left leg just disappeared. I mean it really felt like it wasn’t there at all. It threw me off balance and I came about 6” from going head first through our bedroom window. I don’t know if the disappearing feeling has anything to do with my diabetes or if it’s just some freaky thing.

I’ve thought about moving the bed but it’s really hard to get in and out of with one side against the wall and it’s a nightmare to put the sheets on when it’s against the wall. My Mom is worried that I’m going to fall and really hurt myself one of these times…which I understand.

Have you ever fallen out of bed? What would you do in this situation? Would you prefer a baby bed or bed rails? Does your mom still worry about you?

no, I haven't fallen out of bed in ages, and I don't know how you'd put bed rails on a water bed

No, mom hasn't been worring about me falling out of bed, that's what we have to do with her. they now have her in a bed that goes down almost to the floor because she kept trying to get out of it and that meant she might fall and get hurt

OMG twoey! Almost through the window? That's scary and no wonder your Mom wants you to do this. I would think somewhere you could find some sort of rail or something "thin" enough to fit beside the water mattress and the wood frame.

No I haven't fallen out of bed. I was thinking maybe because of your diabetes that your legs maybe fall asleep on you? And that's why you lose your balance? Is the bed high and could you possibly lower it somehow or get a lower frame? Poor kid, I'd be scared for you too!


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563)  3 years ago

I understand why she's worried too. I'm sure if there is a rail for the bed she will find it...even if she has to have one made. I'm not sure what the problem is with my legs...it's happened a few times. I thought maybe the falling asleep thing too but there's no tingly feeling in them like when your leg falls asleep and then wakes up. The bed isn't high or anything and most the time I get in and out easily, this just started about 4-6 months ago.

I found something for you. It's called the Bedside Assistant and I'm sure you can find it cheaper but this shows a picture, and it can be used with a waterbed. Amazon would have it cheaper I bet. It's not bad looking either, not at all. I have NO AFFILIATION with this site. Good Luck, can't have you hurting yourself. I hope this link works.

you poor dear!
my mom still worries about me too
yesterday after working 2 long shifts back to back I called my mom to see how she was doing
she kept bugging me about whether I have eaten or not
I kept telling her that I will eat soon
so she told me that she is hanging up and I had BETTER go eat something and then get some rest
*sigh* "yes mom"


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563)  3 years ago

Mine does the same thing...even insisting on talking to Hubby and telling him to "make sure" I eat something, go lay down or take medicine. Sometimes I think she misses me not being a kid anymore LOL

First, I'd talk to my doctor! You could have some circulation problems which can set you up for bigger stuff in the future. Your mention of no feeling in your left leg is very alarming and you should have it checked out immediately.

If things keep happening like that, I would definitely recommend seeing your doctor about it. It could have a lot of causes, including your diabetes, inner ear or blood pressure. Better to get it checked out before you fall somewhere and really hurt yourself.

I should see the doctor Twoey. You may just have been very sleepy, but it might be something else. Personally I would prefer rails although it would depend on who "Mommy" was!!! LOL.


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563)  3 years ago

LOL Hubby offered "to keep me in bed" for safety reasons...

I do not know what i would do in that situation. but bed rails might be something to look into. I am also diabetic and even though my feet bother me sometimes i have never lost feeling in my legs. Maybe you should speak to your doctor. And yes mothers worry about their children and it does not matter how old they get.

You say that your bed is against the wall... have you thought of switching sides so that your against the wall instead of at the other side? That may help a bit as you can wake up more and be conscious of your surroundings. I've never been threatened with that, luckily. I'm sorry your having trouble with falling out of the bed. As for the question about whether my mom still worries about me, yes and if she didn't I'd worry lol.

yes i have fallen out of bed once but what was after i had been out with my friends for a girlie booze up and i woke up on the floor, i think you need to get some rails for your bed just to prevent yo getting really hurt, your mum is right, maybe try ebay and see what they have, so sorry about your arm, i hope it gets better soon.

Have you talked to your doctor about this?
You may have low blood pressure and getting up too fast for it to adjust to get blood up there to your head. (I had this problem as a teenager.) I suggest you roll out of bed slowly, rather than just sitting up and stepping out.
Hope things get better for you.
