After R's surgery on his foot, I knew he would have to sleep on his back with his foot propped up for a while. I also knew that this would mean some very loud snoring coming from his side of the bed, and I couldn't rudely wake him up and ask him to roll over. I didn't want to sleep in one of the extra bedrooms, because they are too far away, and I wouldn't be able to hear him if he needed me during the night. So...my solution was to bring a mattress from the guest room and put it in the floor of the dining room (which is very near our bedroom). Problem solved: I was close enough to hear him if he needed me, but not so close that the snoring was unbearable! : )
I lugged the mattress upstairs from the basement, and as soon as I plopped it down on the floor and put the sheets and blanket on it, Anji jumped right up and snuggled in. I truly believe she thought I brought it up just for her, and she appreciated it! Of course, she was a bit upset when I made it clear to her that she would be sharing that space...with me!
Paul snores terribly and he got one of those mouth guards that makes your jaw come out just a bit and when he wears it he DOES NOT snore! Honest! They're GREAT!
