When I woke up this morning, the sheet was pressing down on my feet and it was a little painful on my toes. I immediately thought about this book I read recently, Mornings on Main by Jodi Thomas, where this character, Joe, decided to create toe tents. Now, when I think about it, that man was on to something. He had previously had a few other harebrained ideas that did not pan out, so when he came up with this one, not a lot of people took him seriously. The MMC (male main character) did allow Joe to use an unoccupied building he had to work on this new business idea. Toe tents turned out to be good idea and he starting selling a bunch of them, and hired other workers. Who would have thunkit?
Of course, my mind went there. I wonder if there is really a such thing as toe tents? There is! Except they are called blanket lifters. Toe tents sound better. One vendor on Amazon said the blanket lifter is good for post surgery, arthritis, and neuropathy. I need a toe tent! I have neuropathy due to MS. I never thought that sheets and blankets on my feet would cause an issue. Yet, here I am, googling toe tents. There were actually a few different styles.
This one even have fasteners to keep the blankets completely off of you and still on the bed. It also lifts blankets up off the knees for anyone dealing with recovery after knee surgery. I would say it is the winner out of the others due to its versatility.
If I were to pick one, it would probably be this one.
I feel like it keeps the sheets and blankets off your feet, but don’t let all that extra air in like the others. My feet are almost always cold so I still want the heat of the blanket, just not the weight. Now, for people with average feet or bigger feet, this probably would not be a good fit. It doesn’t look tall enough to keep the blanket off your feet. I have kid sized feet, so it is perfect.
What a random ass thought, right? 😆 This is so common for me. I could care less about the majority of the features on a cellphone, but having the ability to look up random shit I think about, is one of its best features. Especially now that I’m old, I wouldn’t remember to look it up later when I was near a computer. Would toe tents be something you purchase or do you still think it is a corny idea? Honestly, I am really thinking about buying one. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
