I’ve been waking up in pain again lately. The past couple of weeks have been rough. My arthritis has been acting up so bad lately that I had to have hubby open a freakin’ package for me last night, as I couldn’t get a strong enough grasp on it.
I’m so glad that we bought a memory foam mattress, instead of one of those other regular mattresses with the springs in them. If we had, I’d probably be in a lot more pain than I am now. As it is, I can handle the pain that I’ve been dealing with now. With the old inner spring mattress, my back and knees were so bad that I could barely walk when I got up in the mornings.
Granted, I don’t exactly spring out of bed now, but I am able to sleep a lot more comfortably on my memory foam mattress, and my pain has lessened considerably. I’m also not suffering from the back pain that I used to deal with every day, and for me, that’s a damn good thing.
Now, if I could just fall asleep in less than an hour. THAT would make me VERY HAPPY.
