OMG, SO GOOD! I have been stuffing it under my side when I sleep, so it's like, the bed and then the pillow and then me, kind of sleeping half on my side/half on the pillow and it has helped SO much. It has taken the strain off my stomach muscles AND taken the strain off my hip and ribs. Since my rib got messed up, the pull on the space between my hip and my rib has been terrible. I spend five minutes every night trying to find a way to put my legs that doesn't spend all night having gravity pull my entire side down in a weird twist. With the pillow under there, it props all of that up and lessens the pull so much. It's amazing! It hasn't helped so much during the day, but it has made those nine hours of sleep time like an actual chance for my muscles to rest and that is fucking awesome. Thanks for the tip!
Oh, that would have pissed me off HUGELY. You're to be congratulated for your restraint in not screaming at one or both of them!
Yeah, not really restraint so much as terror. When I was a kid, if I defied my mom she would do things like refuse to brush my hair or put my shoes on me (things I needed help with because of the disability), so I learned early that standing up to her was never worth it. She had these passive aggressive ways of punishing us that were often worse than my dad just losing his shit and hitting us. (I know people always meet my mom and she is so nice and then they don't understand why I grumble about her so much!)
