"What was that?" Hubby asked as he lay in bed facing away from me.
"What?"
"That noise. Did you fall?" He turned and had a concerned look on his face.
"I just got up."
"But what was that loud noise?"
So, I'm having a hard time maneuvering out of bed! We have a platform bed. It's closer to the ground then one with a box spring and mattress. I roll over to the edge of the bed, drop my knees to the floor (that's the Thud he heard and now hears every morning) and push against the bed with my hands to be able to get up on my feet.
I've been waking up in the middle of the night for a bathroom run, so I have to do the 'Roll, Drop, Push" method twice every morning!

I'm now wearing knee pads and fatigues to bed. I tell you....it's a battle!
You think it's a battle now. Just wait!
ReplyDeleteTowards the end I needed someone to grab my arms and pull me or give me a push in the back to get me up. You'll get the hang of what works for you. Just don't put strain on your tummy.
ReplyDeleteHa. You will develop strong arms from using them so much to help you get on your feet. When I look back it is funny on all the different methods we use to get stand.
ReplyDeleteI had to wear wrist casts and buy a step to climb up to get in my bed!
