I sleep on a special bed that is filled with sand. Hot air blows up through the sand, and it's like a massage all night long (it promotes healing). That's what happens when the two special sheets (one covering the other) stay fastened in place all the way around the bed. But for the last several days the bed has been fountaining sand. More every day. And just when I was about to call my case manager to ask for a technician to come out and look at it (waiting for the weekend to end), my wife decided to check it out thoroughly. As I expected, she found the source of the problem and fixed it. Not that we would have been required to pay anything for the technician's visit, because it would've been covered by workman's comp, but there's no telling when the guy could have come out. It might've been a week. Meanwhile, heaps of sand would have continued falling on the floor (where they act like miniature ball bearings), and drifts would have been piling up all around me as I slept. It wouldn't have been raindrops falling on my head! We'll know tomorrow morning if the fix worked, but I'm confident. And grateful!
