Spare Bed

I tried the spare bed, but once I had a pillow under my shoulder, and was lying flat out, the bed just wasn't wide enough for safety. I even had a nap in the water bed, and it was wonderful, but I couldn't get out by myself. When I saw the orthopedic surgeon, he was quite firm in his suggestion that I continue to sleep in the recliner. It is the getting in and gettingouts that seem to cause the problems, as well as wrestling with the quilts, using one hand, during both activities. I've sure learned to take both movements slow and easy. I see the ortho guy again on the 8th ( next week) and hope he has some good news for me.
