[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 287711, member: 1514"] Lisa, I know what you mean. Now I am surprised that they dont put the seat belt on her in the wheelchair because that was standard OP for me in the rehab because I was a fall risk from the get go. Does her bed have that alarm on it so if she even moves wrong it goes off? Mine did. Boy did that get annoying...lol. I didnt believe I was a fall risk and tried my best to get out of bed too and fell several times. At the rehab they would put up 3 parts of the bed rails but couldnt legally put up the 4th because they said it was confinement. I waited till they were gone and figured out how to put it up myself or when I was to out of it, had Tony put it up. I didnt feel safe without all rails up. With ME or my family putting them up it was fine. We were doing the confinement not the hospital or center. I stayed on fall risk for most of my time in rehab so I got to know many ways to get around it...lol. Eventually once I could stand they removed the bed alarm. [/QUOTE]
