Merina….have you thought at all about turning one full wall in your living room that is part of the kitchen, into a full library wall so that you have a dedicated spot for all the books in the house? This would free up so much room in all the other rooms for you guys.

[@donnacurtis-binette8719]

I had years of back pain, injuries, etc & ended up with a fusion , ( not saying this will happen to you) my best tip is to find a pillow that you can stand and put it between your knees if you are a side sleeper, our under them if you are a back sleeper. It took me a while to get used to it. It actually takes pressure off your spine. I didn't get to 66 and not learn a thing or two. 😂

I raised 3 children in a single wide mobile home, and the best advice I was ever given for storage and organization was to go vertical as tall as you can because there is more room that way.

I spent a pretty penny on a really good memory foam bed. It cost me about $1500 and its going on 11 years and still looks brand new and was a heaven sent for my back. I have zero pain. I've even laid in bed for a week once when I was really sick and my back never hurt: ❤❤❤

I have a "sleep number that hubby and I bought in 2015. It's still just like new, it's perfect for us. We did not buy the bottom part though, just put it on plywood.

Furniture Sliders! My back and neck is falling apart so when I wanted to continue moving my furniture around, (especially when I lived alone some years ago), I bought some really good, sturdy furniture sliders for carpet and non carpeted floors. But over time now my back has gotten worse, I’ve used a small crow bar to push furniture up to slide the sliders underneath. Those sliders save so much time and pain. Moving a hundred pound tv stand and storage goes flying across the room! Best thing too is you don’t have to unload dressers, tv stands, dressers, etc. My husband hates to see me or hear that I’ve moved furniture but the glider sliders are truly a back saver. My bones are getting worse though so I best figure out where everything is going to stay permanently soon! Lol. Glad your new bed loved your body because it also saves your sanity. We eventually got a king bed but also it raises head and foot. I can’t sit up straight too long (too much pressure and compression on the spine and hips) but I can use it at 45 degree and such, but less degree is better. And yes, weight does factor in for back aches and pulls. I’ve got at least 40 more pounds to drop. No it won’t solve my bone problem but it will relieve some or a lot of the pain it does contribute too. Btw, you look to have loss some poundage yourself! Great job girl!

Hi! Just wanted to tell you that I struggled with sciatica for a good six months until someone told me about the tennis ball method. Just take a tennis ball and place it right at the top of your butt crack and lay on top of it. It's going to hurt like heck but slowly increase the time you lay on it. You might start to feel a little numb but keep doing it. The ball helps spread your vertebrae so that the nerves can be relaxed! It took me about two weeks and then I never had trouble again! Give it a try

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Yes, I have the “Miracle Balls” and use them all over my back, shoulders, neck. Once the muscles let go and relax around the ball, the pain is gone! I also put a pull-up bar in a doorway and hang from it. Incredible. At first I could only hang 15 seconds. Now I hang two minutes! Fixed my back.

just a suggested (something I did till I got my new floor) is rip up the old carpet live with the mobile flooring until you can get the new flooring. You will breathe easier for sure.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I have ocd bed issues, so please forgive my need to give my opinions. So happy you got a new bed….it’s 1/3 of your life! I only buy really nice white sheets. They get softer as they age and last forever. White can be bleached unlike colored sheets. They also give the “luxury” look. I suggest Shane reinforces under the mattress with either more slats or even plywood. It will make the mattress last longer. I couldn’t tell what kind of mattress you got, but we always buy the kind that can be flipped over. Some mattresses have a faux box spring underneath so you can’t. But regardless, rotate your mattress every month. Just remember when the first of the month comes around, rotate the mattress. Even if you can only switch it on one side. If you can flip it, you get four changes! This will also help the life of the mattress. I also recommend you buy a mattress topper asap. This added three or four inches will really help your body and you can replace it more easily (cheaper) than a mattress. Amazon has them. The reviews are helpful. This is a very important thing for heavier people. I’m married to someone twice my weight! Although, when he is carnivore, he drops a lot. I think the tan headboard and miscellaneous shades of blue would be beautiful together. Or chocolate walls for a moody room with a striped, plaid, or print duvet cover. The cover could bring in a third color….blue or burgundy, maybe. You might look on KZbin for how the Scandinavians make their beds! It’s a thing! They use two duvet-covered comforters which overlap in the middle to make the bed but then each person has their own for sleeping! There’s no more pulling the blankets and each person can bundle up or throw them aside as needed. They don’t use top sheets because the duvet cover is a sheet and easily washed. The Drummer is a big guy. When we did this, life improved! I put a print sheet over top for color and protection from dog paws. I also have a cover sheet for each season. I just love to put the seasonal sheet and a throw and two decorative pillows on the bed four times a year. It makes me happy. Praying for restful sleep and no more backaches for you.

I have sciatic pain but I got a new office chair and it helped so much! I’m happy you got a new mattress so hopefully your pain will go away.

Love your new bed, so pretty. Shane's hair cut is very nice!

Girlfriend if you don't have one you must get a knee pillow that goes between your knees if you are a side sleeper it helps with the sciatica. Also 15 mins heat before you lay down and if you can get voltarol gel (diclofenac) it's a life saver. Put it on your back before sleep

EXACTLY!!! I have sciatica on both sides and a knee pillow is my saving grace

[@juststoppingby390]

@DbleP111 ouch I'm glad something eases it a bit. I have found diclofenac eases the biting ache

Merina I have worried for quite awhile about your back, I have back problems and the mattress and size of the bed helps your back issues. This bed is gorgeous ❤❤ I am so happy for you and Shane❤. The girls will enjoy having the bed in their room I’m sure.

Merina shines brighter than the fireworks on New Years Eve! May God bless you with more joy than ever before.

🌺🤗 I have back issues also. I recommend when getting up off bed turn on side and push up with arm then sit up straight before attempting to get up. Learned it from rehab after injury at work. When you get in the car, make sure you sit down with legs out and turn in bringing legs in one at a time. You will notice the difference. Love y'all.

The new bed is awesome. Also the clip from yrs ago when you made your headboard shows how much slimmer you are now. Good job Merina
