We Are ALMOST There!

The saga of the bed continues, but we think we are getting closer to a comfort level.  We hope. 

We inflated the air mattresses last night to a number below what we use at home - different brand and it felt firmer so we went with the lower number. 

It felt like sleeping on cold concrete.  We both lowered the amount of inflation a couple of times during the night, but we still had firmness issues.  Both of us woke up this morning with sore shoulders and hips at the pressure points when sleeping on one's side.  I've had a backache all day.  

Today we put the memory foam topper which had been in storage back on and made the bed once again.  The amount of foam and the thickness of the cover that came with the new bed was not enough to keep out the cold from the air in the mattress, nor was it thick enough to provide cushioning for old bones.  

Good news - no rolling to the center and onto each other since we had our individual little "beds."  That is a major plus!  

Maggie slept like a log in her little bed at our feet.  She liked it.

Tonight - foam topper plus lower numbers.  Gotta keep trying until we get it right.

It was sunny and warm today and we got some errands run in town.  Maggie and I got a nice long walk but did run into a couple of coyotes.  Once I saw them, I immediately turned us around and she and I hustled back into the RV park (we had gone on a trail just outside the park) with our necks on swivels checking behind us to make sure those critters weren't following. They are pretty intimidating looking, for sure.

Just as I was thinking this afternoon that it is time to start behaving diet wise, our neighbor came over with a plate loaded with Christmas cookies to thank us for helping her take down her decorations yesterday.  Her husband was gone for the afternoon and she wanted to get it done so he wouldn't have to do it. (Her husband is the one in the wheelchair that Maggie loves so much.) So, another day or so before we start behaving.
