Good morning @billchitwood I am sorry to read of your bad night. Sounds like a very tough one, indeed.

I don't know if it would work, or if I've mentioned it before, but at a certain point, we added a hospital bed with high rails to our bedroom. I could still lie beside my wife, but she couldn't get out of bed and it afforded me some space into which she couldn't easily intrude. That worked well until I finally switched to sleeping on the living room sofa after she'd fall asleep and then sneak in before she woke in the mornings. I wish I had more to offer!

Strength, Courage, & Peace

Room is small and wouldn't accommodate even a small extra bed. Looking at a Murphy bed for me - in the meantime I'm fine on the couch. I can sleep anywhere - have even been know by the family for falling asleep standing up!

This morning he is sleeping in. Got his sheets back on the bed. The floor, at least for now, is free of pee. He isn't hungry or thirsty. But at least seems content and is getting some sleep.
