Getting into bed

nanasharon

Long story short Doug now has a hospital bed so I ordered a twin bed and mattress so I could sleep beside him. I had taken my mattress upstairs to the game room to sleep in the meantime. The first two nights went fine. Then Monday night he got up around 11 to use the bathroom and I heard him fall in the bedroom. So I moved to the downstairs recliner to sleep. About 3:00 he got up again to use the bathroom and once again fell next to the bed. Last night I heard him fall about 11:00 so I slept on the floor beside him. When he got up at 4 to use the bathroom I quickly realized the reason he was falling was he can no longer figure out how to get on the bed and lay down. Sad how something which seems so simple to us is not.
