transcription of Bernards april statement on loaw bunk:
Bernard Kretlow 340419 Osci 4/22/24
reasons I should have an indefinite lower bunk restriction
1. I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of tossing and turning at night while asleep which occurs nightly
2. I'm at risk of falling as a result of my lower back locking up on me which happened on 418/24 or41924.
3.I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of my nightmares which I have.
4 I am at risk of injury to my left ankle having to go on the top on cuz it's injured already.
5.Nowhere to put sleep apnea machine or cause if I put it on the TV stand at foot of bed it's at risk of falling cuz I toss and turn and it can't sit on the floor cuz the hose won't reach to the top bunk ,not long enough would need two hoses.
6.At risk of seizure if I've become stressed which happens quite a bit with my cell Vance Adduci and

RE: Low bunk for Bernard Kretlow 340419
April 22, 2024
Hello,
I am concerned for the well being of Bernard Kretlow, He has been recently denied the low bunk designation because he has not had seizures in a few months. I ask that you applaud yourselves and him for this improvement in his health and keep the low bunk restriction . Bernard is afraid of falling from the top bunk. Such a fall would have serious consequences. He has fallen from the low bunk and this fear of falling increases his risk for seizures and falling.
The DAI 500.30.07 Special Needs rule on Lower bunk restriction states:
“A person should be restricted from the upper bunk if they have a medical condition that represents a higher than average likely hood of severe injury if that person fell from the upper bunk or if there is an uncontrolled medical condition that places them at increased risk of a sudden unpredictable loss of mobility, balance or cognition.”
Bernard Kretlow certainly qualifies here- Please do not jeopardize your success with helping him control his seizures- Allow Bernard Kretlow to keep his low bunk restriction.
Thankyou for your attention:

Bernard's second post lists other concerns, including program group problems , lack of rec due to staff shortages and no vending machines in visiting rooms.
