Sofa

I have been very open with how much Mike was struggling. Friends, it was bad, there is no way that I can really begin to describe the depth of what he was going through. That saying “The Struggle is Real” was the theme for our family at this point in time. I was thankful and blessed but lord my husband needed a break. He could not sleep in the bed at this point, he strangled at night really bad, to the point that I was scared he may not catch his breath. I had bought different pillows just trying to get him comfortable but nothing worked. He decided to try and sleep on the couch to see if it would be any better for him. Well, that meant that yours truly was going to the couch also, I could not let him sleep alone because I was petrified he would get choked. So, the couch was a little better for him so we started bunking on the couch. Now, we have a sectional couch, he is super tall so he got the long part and guess what that meant, yep, I was on the short end, with the dog, lucky me (not!) Now someone in the house was beyond excited when we started sleeping on the couch because that meant he got our “big room” with the bathroom, yes Harrison was thrilled. He took our room, and we were on the couch and this friends went on for a couple of months. That is just how it had to be because Mike was able to get a little rest, not a lot but at least he got some, my back was going to be broken but I never said a word, compared to what he was going through a broken back would have been a piece of cake!
