Yesterday my aide came and we did a lot of cleaning. Yes, I helped her. I wanted to wash the encasements I keep on my box springs and mattress on the bed. They are covers that completely zip around the mattress and box springs to keep dust, mites and bedbugs out of the bed (if they are there, I know there is dust and rabbit fur). So to put them on and take them off, you have to take the bed off the frame.
Now this project makes me thankful I never got a headboard for the bed. I never will now. In an apartment building behind a headboard up against the wall is a spot the pest control guy checks for bugs.....so the worst thing I have is pictures and wall hangings on my wall. Anyway, we got the bed taken apart and while she took it down to the washing machine, I vacuumed the area under the bed and both sides of the mattress and box springs. That is why I will not keep anything under my bed again either.
She left for the day and I still had the mattress left to cover and put back but the one encasement was not dry so I took it back downstairs for more time in the dryer. She told me to call her if I needed help finishing the bed but I told her I could do it. And I did. I even made the bed myself which is one thing I have had great difficulty doing. I tried to sleep in the bed last night, for weeks I have been sleeping in the recliner. But I want to sleep in the bed! I woke around 3 and my lower back hurt so bad. I stayed the rest of the night in the recliner. Today, I will not do very much besides the bunny cage.
Of course, Rabbit was happy that I was sleeping in my bed last night. So I will be weaning myself back into it. I do not want to sleep in a chair the rest of my life.
