Waterbed Leaks

Kim got up yesterday morning and when she came upstairs she had a distraught look on her face.  When she pulled the sheets off the bed to wash them they were wet.  Turns out the waterbed mattress on her side has been leaking.  We bought it in 1996 so it is almost 20 years old and has been in our bedroom in the basement for at least 10 years.

We briefly debated trying to patch it but decided it would be too difficult.

Jean has a king size bed so we will buy her a new mattress and move her old one downstairs for Kim to sleep on.  We drained the leaking mattress and cleaned out the water in the liner using a wet vac.  Kim will sleep on my side of the waterbed until a new mattress is delivered.  We will go shopping today.

I went downstairs to supervise, first time I did the basement stairs in 2 months.  It didn't go very well.  I am much weaker now than 2 months ago and I won't be doing that again any time soon.

One benefit was Kim didn't sleep well last night and early this morning crawled into the double bed with me.  We held hands and slept until 7:30.  That was the first time we slept in the same bed in 2 months.

Home health starts tomorrow.  We'll start with 4 hours Monday and Thursday mornings and add hours as needed.  A long term care nurse will visit Wednesday to do an assessment and after a 12-week elimination period the insurance company will start to pay up to $283/day.  I need to make a list of activities today for the home health aide to help with in addition to bathing and dressing.

I'll Skype with my family later today.  We need to discuss plans for the Hershey ALS Walk in 5 weeks and dad and I are planning for him to visit in 2 weeks and will attempt a trip to Boston to visit my uncle and his family.
