I forgot to mention in my previous post... The lovey folks at #Saatva saw my story and were generous enough to send me a new mattress. The choice was between a foam mattress or spring. In the end I went with @Saatva’s Classic Innerspring mattress, which is comfy as hell. I feel fortunate, not only to have received such a wonderful gift, but due to my health issues, I wasn’t able to try out the mattress before I got it, so I feel lucky that it’s a good fit for me. As someone who is entirely bedridden, this is like getting a new house or car for me. It’s literally where I spend all of my time. I do everything — write, bathe, eat, sleep, etc. — on a mattress. So I better have a good one, right? Needless to say I am excited and my back is even more excited to get some relief from the pain I had on the old mattress, which, believe it or not, I had been sleeping on since college. I also want to thank my wonderful mother @kathleen5626, she moved the new mattress on her own. She has some serious Herculean strength and a lot of patience. She also assembled the new bed frame I bought online, which I’m really looking forward to, now my wedge pillows won’t slide off the bed.

Wall-to-Wall mattresses. Reminds me of the time in college when me and @_jmatt72 shared a room and could only fit our mattresses side by side on the floor. No frames or anything else. I highly recommend everyone does this at least once in their life.

Don’t cross the threshold!
