My story begins with a twist...

[TrentC]

Well, the problem is that she actually needs to sleep in the main bed because she's still recovering from surgery; the she has trouble getting up and out of the guest bed. I had offered to swap outright, but she said that I could stay with her in the main bed.

Now that I know how she feels, I'm planning on either moving to the couch or telling her mother that we will be trading beds -- she can sleep with her daughter and I'll take the spare bed.

Once my MIL is gone, we'll revisit the sleeping arrangements.
