I just need to vent. I am having a bad day or rather a bad couple of days. I have been sleeping in a hospital bed set up in my living room and my husband has been sleeping on the couch in case I need anything or need to go to the bathroom because I have to wear my TLSO whenever I get out bed. Anywho, after 4 months I am getting tired of my bed cause it is hard and I feel bad for my husband sleeping on the couch cause he has to get up at 5 in the morning to go to work and doesn't get home until 6pm. Plus, my shoulders among other parts of my body have been hurting really bad every morning and I thought that it was the hard mattress so, I thought that I would try sleeping in our regular bed. We have a Sealy Back Support with memory foam king size. So, night before last we slept in our bed and I did sleep rather well and when we got up at 5am to get ready for the day the only hurting that I had was my lower back, but that was it and I thought great this is really nice to sleep good and only have my lower back hurt and not my entire body. I thought that it would take a few nights to get used to my mattress and than it would be a blessing in disguise (spelling). So, than last night got into our bed for the 2nd night and woke up this morning at 430 before the alarm and my lower back was hurting so bad that I just about started to cry and when we put my brace on to get out of bed and go to the bathroom, holy cripes, I screamed cause it hurt soooo bad and it just squeezed my back and made me almost cry. So, now I am just disgusted, if I can't handle the hospital bed without pain and my own bed is giving me pain, what am I to do. I am caught between a rock and a hard spot. And then I feel doublly bad, cause my hubby had the best 2 nights sleep in the past 4 months by sleeping on our bed. I feel bad, I dont know what to do and I am hurting really bad. And to make matter's worse, I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis on top of my injuries from my motorcycle accident and from the jar of the accident, it has caused major flare ups and I can't take any of my arthritis meds cause they will stop / slow down my healing process. The docs have told me that the jar of the accident has injured about 50% of my soft tissue around my joints and in various areas of my body. I really hurt and become stiff with my R.A. and when cold weather hits, YIPES, bad bad bad pain. So, now we are having a major snow storm, actually have had bad weather for past several weeks, but, now it is getting cold and snowing and windchild is below zero. So, I hurt from my R.A., hurt from my accident, hurt from sleeping in my own bed and cannot sleep on my hospital bed anymore. What am I to do???? any comments or suggestions?? HELP please.
