Downstairs Upstairs
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in York.
- Thursday, 11th of April 2019
After being in hospital, Mr J had his bed moved downstairs, so that he could move back home. Since then, Mr J has recovered well and is ready move back upstairs.
Our task was to help him reclaim his dining room, by moving the bed back into the bedroom. John and Leanne completed some tricky manoeuvres to get the base and matress into the bedroom, and then used Mr J's giant screwdriver to secure the headboard.
There was a tricky moment when the pocket bed matress wouldn't fit in its slot under the main bed... in a stroke of genius, Leanne suggested swapping it with the other matress. They found that they were indeed the wrong way round - the one they'd orignally put on the main bed was the perfect fit!
After 15 minutes, we bid farewell to Mr J, who is looking forward to doing some step reps when he goes up to bed later tonight!
