I used to have my bedroom TV on top of a TV table. It was great to lay down in bed and watch movies and series from the
comfort of my bed. After a few weeks I realized that my back and neck were always hurting. I thought it was stress but then someone mention the TV position and I realized that I was making an extra effort to be able to watch TV from bed. The solution: I bought a tv mount with wall support and put my TV in there. Now I can watch TV lying down in bed without having to have my head and neck excessively lift up.
There are these small details we not always pay attention to, that can really make our life a little uncomfortable. When you have some physical symptom check all the options:
What have you changed recently?
Using some new gadget?
Bought a new house gadget?
Increased your daily walk distance
It can be a small, insignificant change that can make the difference.

A few days ago I wrote about better conditions for sick elderly in need of better living conditions.
Today I was informed that a new center opened in the city. It’s a new and well equipped complex and it seems to have all the necessary conditions to provide a dignified life to the elderly people especially the sick ones with disease like Alzheimer. They have specialized staff, good facilities, good technical conditions and they are using a new assisted living software that basically takes care of all residents. Everything related to management and schedules is controlled through this system.
One day, when my mother isn’t able to take care of my father (who has Alzheimer), this center could be a good option for him, but…but as usual the problem is money. This complex is considered a luxurious complex once is equipped with the latest technology and has a very good staff so the monthly fee is absurd for a normal worker. Rich people yes, they can have a great life when they are old and sick, this is not people that work all their life and receive a retirement monthly payment that barely is enough for the monthly basic bills.
