My friend that died. We used to watch tv in bed. Nap before going fishing.
Talk. Shower and get back under the covers when it was cold.
He'd make me breakfast in bed. We'd do massage. All day in bed.

Now when I spend all day in bed it's just with my cat. I really appreciate her company. I pet her, rough her up, feed her all in bed. She has her own place and kitty sheet at foot of the bed.

I'm so sorry about your friend. You are a very strong person, alot of things have happened in your life but they haven't gotten the best of you. I also spend alot of time alone in bed, I wish I was allowed to keep a pet, but my parents are too strict.

Thanks for the kind words. I used to pretend with a stuffed animal. Try it!

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Thanks for this!

I feel very safe in my bed.
But miss the companionship.

After my hysterectomy, I stayed in bed for quite awhile. It was lovely. No kids, pets, husband. Just me, my computer, netflix, and books.

My cats have their own spots in my bed too lol! And my boyfriend has to kick them out when he's going to sleep. I'm sorry about your loss (hugs). I haven't had a close friend like that since probably 10 years ago, before my diagnoses. Then after I got bad I started isolating myself or sleeping away my life as my docs would try different cocktails. The first cocktail I will never forget... Seroquel in the day time! I couldn't even drive a car. I was a sleepy mess every day. Never will I do seroquel during the day again lol. I hope you find some happiness and contentment in your life soon.



I don't get msgs unless the other person using tapatalk app!

Your post reminded me of when my husband and I were young, and we'd spend all day in bed, too. Fun memory to dredge up. Thanks.

You're very welcome. We should start a bed club.
Who would like to come to CR. My round trip on Spirit Air from Florida was only $150. And $50 was to buy an exit row seat.
