Hi Pippin. Glad to see your back....It's pretty tough lurking ONLY. Ouch on the knee, back, hip etc. I'm 48 and developed a hip problem about 3 years ago. Turned out to be my syiatic (sp) nerve. A couple of months of massage therapy, daily stretching (and not letting the dogs sleep on either side of me, although that one I cheat on) have done the trick.

We also got the select comfort number bed about six months ago and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Mr. D. used to move to the couch the middle of the night because his back would bother him. His only complaint now is that he doesn't want get out of bed in the am. Dittos for me and our 15 year old arthritic sheltie LOL!

Good job with the SelectComfort - the last bed you'll ever own. If only every hotel had one of those bad boys, I wouldn't hate to travel so much. ;-)
