Question
I have yet to receive a response to my 9/6/04 request...so I shall ask again: As per her doctor's orders, I am looking for a petite electric lift chair for my 76 year-old Mom with severe osteoporosis(now 4'8"--and shrinking) that has a double motor that the footrest is operated independently of the reclining option so that she can sit in the chair with her feet up to work on her sewing and recline when she needs to sleep. My Mom is in her recliner for nearly 20+/hrs/day so this is a must. Can you help? I would be willing to consider a special order.

Answer

Dear Ms. Catalino:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Sorry for the delay.  We are still waiting on the manufacturers response about  foot lift option.  The fact is that a double motor petite lift chair is not available from our current suppliers. The alternative is a a medium double motor electric lift chair.  Comfort Medium 26 in Double Motor Lift Chair (LBD62M105RPCTGISG).  Someone will contact you on Monday with more information and options.

Question
You advertise MATERNITY scrubs, but they really aren't...how misleading is that. Do you not think nurses need maternity scrubs?? Not all of us can just switch to a 3x from pregnancy when we'd rather feel pretty wearing actual maternity cut clothing. Your website is misleading and disappointing to say the least.

Dear Ms. Thompson:

We do have the following two maternity style scrubs currently available for now:
