My son quietly sees me sluggishly awake in the morning when I state I haven't gotten a good sleep at night.
As he knows I am complaining of difficult breathing and I should sleep in upright position, he ordered online this pillow _recliner that looked good in its promo picture.
2 weeks, it said, and the pillow will be delivered.
He and I waited. In 10 days, it came. My son enthusiastically opened it, but he was quite dismayed because it was not what he ordered.
I just thanked him and said it will be very useful for me. Buying and returning back for another item may be time-consuming.
The pillow is useful. I sleep upright like sitting, while my lower limbs are elevated to promote venous return and reduce edema.

that is why there are only 2 trusted online stores, the L and the S.

@simplfred i believe the small-time sellers are the cheaters. my sister bought online a battery for her Samsung. sadly, it did not recharge. she wanted to sent back but the seller wanted a video of the battery being inserted, switched on, and the icon of battery charging is not moving. sis says, 'charge it to experience'.

Online shopping can be tricky to get what is pictured and described. Sorry about that. At least you are able to use it (love the color) and not waste time and postage returning it.
Your son is so loving and concerned about you. You are blessed.

Oh, so this is the pillow recliner.. Hmmmm Yup, buying and returning is time consuming. This is one of the disadvantages of buying online.

true, hija, but the pillow works for me. yes, besides the big item, it is time-consuming too, to send back the item.

@ridingbet This morning I received the shoes I ordered from Shopee.. This is the first time I am going to buy from that brand so I was unsure if their sizes are the same with the sizes of the brand I am using..
They had a promo that you will get 55% off plus other shop discounts if you get three items so I availed it.
They didn't have my size in some of the items so I chose one size bigger and it's good they fit me or else I have to return them.. hmmmm
