Aaaaahh what a sad story. Prayers said for her. It can happen to everyone. We one time all got head lice. I didn't even know what it was as I had never had it. Thanks for the warning. I will take it to heart.

What good advice!! Hope your sister feels better..it is not her fault that she bought a great looking chair! I for one am not sure that I would have thought of getting bedbugs from a great thrift find. So sorry she is going through this!!!

Sorry to hear, we had recently moved into a house and found out it was infested with bed bugs, had to get rid of 2 chairs and a bed. We are now in the process of getting rid of them. Have never had anything like this before and I am almost 64!

Very sound advice....great topic.....I have become very careful buying soft (anything with fabric) merchandise.
If I cant fit it in my washer and dryer I dont' buy it. It stays in the trunk in a tightly sealed plastic bag until I'm ready to wash it.

WOW..........what an outpouring of good thoughts for my sis.... you are all so wonderful... it has helped.... she has been in touch with a group in her area. she qualifies for help... (and trust me, if you knew her there would be no question)... she's the kind that has stayed in touch with some of the people she used to care for when she was able to work.... ie.. a 91yr. old... takes her out shopping and for b-days when she can... visits to nursing homes.. people where she lives..helping and shopping... the list goes on....
Anywhoooooo, they will be sending her a check for a mattress by Saturday we hope,,,, not going to be the electric bed she had, but we are grateful... and to all of YOU... i appreciate your wonderful support... thanks and hugs, Barbara
