I’m making a vow! I’m making a vow to write one day a week because I miss you guys! So this is for this week. Now what the hell to write about?
Oh! Got it! I got a new bed. Doctor said the terrible back pain is a combination of being fat and sleeping on a broken down mattress! So we tossed out the ten year old mattress and bought a new one. I LOVE IT! The only problem is the we didn’t have a frame with the old one so I pretty much rolled off unto the floor. Now I can basically stand up. So when I get up I fall on my butt, I’ll get the hang of it eventually. My back feels much better. I’m only really stiff for about a half hour now.
The only other concern is for the dog. We thought he would have trouble getting up and down, but he hasn’t. Which really isn’t a good thing. At his age he could jump down and hurt himself easily. So my husband is making him a step. Until then we put the ottoman at the end of the bed to jump off of.
So the next step is heading back out to the resale shop for some more sheets. I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford $50 for a sheet at the regular store.

The new bed is a great idea when the back starts crying but for the life of me I don’t know how you can fit a king size in that little bedroom! Hope the back continues to improve. And it is good having you back! No pun intended!

I also suffer from chronic back pain, and you were right to get a new bed; it helps a LOT!
We sunk a ton of money into a latex bed, but I think we got took because it has sunk a bit in the middle and it wasn’t supposed to do that for twenty years or so. We want a new bed, but we also want a new house so first things first, I guess.
I hope you continue to feel well, and I hope you stick to your vow!

JEALOUS!
Our mattresses are still on the floor and well, damn, how long did you brother have them when he lived in Orion before he moved to Canton? Lol… yeah, we’re still sleeping on those old pieces of shit.

The new Matress is a King. Anything less is too small for all of us. My cats love it. They can hide under it and sleep on it. The older ones need a boost to get up and help getting down. Poor old babies!
