Zero Gravity

Martijn, awaiting the new zero gravity chairs with his leg elevated the old fashioned way!
Good friend, Trish, tries one out. Lift off!

Martijn with Chris, cozy in the new chairs

Sometimes the best tact is to simply hang in there. While we await news from the hospital regarding the upcoming PET/Cat Scan availability, we just keep moving forward... or hanging upside down! A while back it was suggested the very best position for Martijn is with his feet elevated above his head due the condition of his lymph glands. After a lengthy search we discovered "The Perfect Chair" or the Zero Gravity chair which allows the user to recline much as an astronaut during launch reducing pressure to the spine and keeping the legs above the heart. Thanks to a very nice team at a furniture store in Aachen, Germany named Sequoia, we were able to import these beauties, made in Thailand, shipped from California to Germany to the Netherlands. Trish stopped by for a visit this past Friday and got to sample one. Today Martijn spent quality time with a close friend, Chris, from his university days. With so much in the balance it is simply marvelous to hang out with good friends. Our new chairs make visits more fun. Come try one.

Wow! This is an awesome blog that is related to Zero Gravity Chairs
that this is the best chair for old people because they can relax well. It increases the Circulation of blood. In my view it reduces the pressure to the spine and keeping the legs above the heart.
