Yeah, I recently had a bad experience with a mattress topper that also was shipped in shrink wrap. I woke up feeling dizzy after sleeping on it. I learned that the mattress topper was loaded with chemicals and was "off-gassing." Gotta be careful -- especially with your situation.

I've been roaming the earth since shortly before the JFK assassination. Then came Vietnam, more assassinations, the moon landing, the Mets winning the World Series, Watergate, the 80's are a blur, the technology revolution, 9/11, and now the Trump Error. Yup, quite a ride.

Funny, I was just saying that quote to someone the other day, something like "Getting old ain't for the faint of heart." I had no idea who said it.

I love them, but they interfere with my BP medication, so I can't have them too often -- which makes them even more special.

Wow -- you have a great memory! I haven't looked for it yet because I found another box that I'd stashed away under the slop sink. Really impressed that you remembered that!
