OT visit

Finally got the first look at the new custom made padding for bedroom today,it has been in the making since early december.
The OT and designer came with it,to see how it fits,but part of it was too long so it's had to go back for a slight change.

They have to drill hooks [?] along the walls so the velco strips can be put through and then attached to the bed so am do not fall down in a meltdown and it protects from head banging as well.

The colour is great,had chose it from a book of samples the designer had,it's a purple check [?] design.

He said the cover can be taken off and washed easily,but that they had designed it around hospital/metal style bed [am not allowed the metal type because of injury from meltdowns] and need to change some of the loops so they wrap around such a wide wooden plank bed.

It looks so much better than the current protection that is used now,as it's been used for years-and is falling apart [a special mattress,and loads of pillows].
They are arranging a date for next week to come,will be out whilst all the banging and drilling is going on.

Will put a photo of it on here when it's all finished,it will be far easier on eyes than the bright red padding already.
