before I fell out of bed. I didn't get to bed until in the morning hours, wasn't sleepy so I watched movies. No excuse.
I bought a new mattress about a year ago and I have been switching sides every month or six weeks to give it even wear. The mattress is really thick and I made a mistake and didn't buy a thinner box spring therefore the bed is high. I switched sides before, switched night before lqst and had no problem. I sleep on my right side and was facing away from the edge of the bed.
I woke up, went to the bathroom and went back to bed intending not to go back to sleep. I did go back to sleep and one of those unwanted phone calls awoke me and as I turned over to reach the phone on the night stand I rolled off of the bed.
The bedroom furniture is HARD hardwood and has sharp corners and edges. My arm hit the top sharp corner of the night stand and just below the left elbow I got about a 2 inch tear in the thin skin. The side of my head hit the same corner and scraped the side of my face, my ear and head above and behind my ear. My ear had a little surface bleeding and just some swelling along with bruising as also happened with the side of my head. My left lower back is sore.
I thank the good Lord that I broke no bones, just bruised. Lesson learned. When you get in bed make sure that you are far enough center that you can roll over without rolling off. I was a dummy.
