Mission

Bed you didn’t think we’d be so quick!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hounslow.

It was a gorgeous bright sunny morning when we met outside Mr R’s flat. We were greeted by a familiar friendly face, our honorary GoodGym Photographer and Occupational Therapist Virginia, who we have worked with before.

After a quick stair workout to get to the flat we entered a spacious hallway (more of that later!) The mission was to move a double bed from the main room into the spare room and to make space for a hospital bed to be delivered in an hours time.

We didn’t rest on the job and quickly stripped the bed and carried the surprisingly light mattress and divan into the spare room. Unlike other missions where space is at a premium for furniture navigation, this hallway provided plenty of room; a luxury that we are rarely familiar with!! No need to twist, turn or pivot here, out the bedroom and into the spare room and we were done!!

Stop the clock!! 5 minutes from start to finish and right on time for the hospital bed delivery! A lovely way to end the week helping this 90 year old resident return to the home he loves after weeks in hospital. Happy Friday All!
