The daughter of the care company owner came in to put Fred to bed tonight.

She advised me to keep him in bed tomorrow if the power fails.

Ever since they have been coming to us, six and a half years, he has had an air mattress.

She has been coming to him for all of that time. I think she might have noticed the pump on the end of the bed.

Goodness me woman.
What´s wrong with a bicycle pump for emergencies.
Think outside the box. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Ask that daft woman to come back and blow the mattress up....... sounds like she's full of hot air.

Last time we had bad power cuts the Social Services had made arrangements to send me an ordinary mattress.

We have a profiling bed because he can't move himself in bed so that wouldn't work either.

This is one I need to deal with entirely myself because I have all the detail in my head.
I aske Social Services last time if they could hire me a generator for the duration but that was not possible, the most practical solution but not possible.
