Stay Up To Date

I have been blessed to never really suffer from back pain.  My parents on the other hands seem to deal with this discomfort daily.  I've always wondered why they would have such bad backs.  Neither one of them is overweight.  They both are active and take care of themselves and yet... the silently groan when bending over to pick something up.  They silently ache when getting up off the couch.  And it always seems to be at it's worst first thing in the morning.  And then on a recent visit... I discovered the problem.

First you have to understand that my parents meticulously take care of everything.  My Mom's cell phone is archaic.  It's at least 15 years old and it looks as though she just purchased it.  My Dad's car looks better than the day he got it.  We actually have a waiting list of people who want to buy his car when he decides he wants a new one.  And their bed is the very same bed from when they first married.

On a purchase of a bed, my parents made sure to purchase the very best.  I mean you spend a third of your life sleeping... so it stands to reason that you would want a top of the line bed... and this is what they purchased.  It has stood the test of time.  I swear you would think they bought it yesterday.  Now... here's the problem.  They bought it during a time where it was believed that an incredibly firm mattress was the best thing for your back.  There was no posturepedic or tempurpedic products  There was no pillow top or memory foam.  This mattress is like a rock.  I slept on the thing and thought I would need medical help to get up in the morning.

So despite the fact that my parents can purchase an item and keep it forever in beautiful condition... they still need to keep up with the present and see what it has to offer.  The advances we make daily give you opportunity to improve your life.  It is important to stay up to date on what is out there.
