I need to sleep with my body against the wall... nothing emotional there, just the way I've been sleeping since I was a kid. Trying to sleep in a bed "open" on both sides I just can't sleep. It is also a small bed.

In the future though I was thinking of maybe getting a larger bed and see if in that case I could sleep OK. I sleep with a lot of pillows anyway, and I could make a "wall" of pillows to sleep against and I think I would be OK. My current bed is too small for that, the pillows would just fall overboard.

I think the smell is from using unscented detergent. I can't even use "Bounce" sheets or the like in the dryer because I get a bad rash. I usually use an unscented fabric softener, and everything seems to come out OK... but I am currently out of it.

I may spray my sheets with a little Fabreeze but I don't want to use up what I have... want to spend my money on food.

I also don't swim... not since a little kid have I been spotted in a swim trunks . That is a hangup of mine. I've been trying to do my physical therapy excersizes again, because they do help.

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions, sleeps.
