We used to allow the dogs to sleep on our king-sized bed,
and they curled up next to DH's legs. After DH died I
downsized to a full-size bed and the dogs got their very own
beds on the floor. It took about two weeks of firm
reprimands before they gave up trying to sneak up after I
fell asleep.
How are your "new eyes" doing?

Seeing well, enjoying the clarity and color that I now have. Just
picked up new glasses yesterday. Lineless bifocals with transition
lenses, and so far, they're good. The people in the shop were excited
about a new lens they used. Somehow it is supposed to do the transition
from close to distance in a better way - not really bifocal or trifocal,
but multifocal. I can actually use them for the computer and reading,
if I want. Never had much success with my old ones that way.

Congratulations! I was also very happy with the improvement
in vision following my cataract surgery.
My HMO allowed me two pairs of glasses made after my surgery
(one for each eye that had surgery, so one pair is
sunglasses) and after a couple of false starts I settled for
no-line bifocals. They are satisfactory for most things,
although I'm unhappy with how badly they have scratched in
just under two years. I am coming up on eligibility for a
new pair, I think I'll see if I can get glass lenses instead
of plastic. These have a 'non-scratch coating' (yeah right!)
but they scratched anyway, and they are impossible to get
really clean.
I do miss the "built-in loupe" my severe myopia provided.

I also ordered two pair - using frames I already have. I figure I need
a spare pair to wear when I can't find my glasses, so I can see to
search for them. One pair is covered by Medicare as part of the post-op
for cataracts. We submitted the second pair on my regular vision
insurance. I'll still have to pay something (quite a bit, actually) but
not full price.
Before you go to glass, check out some of the new plastics they've
developed. It might not be as big a problem for you as it was for me,
but my old glass glasses were thick and heavy and after a couple of
hours, my face and ears hurt. These glasses I have are a special
plastic the name I don't recall, and titanium frames, and they're
super-light.

Which is why I don't grok the duvet. I slept under one on the Ghan
shortly after the track was completed, and it was miserable: the
parts of me under the quilt where sweating, and the parts that weren't
covered were blue. But of course in a bunk that's the best you can
do; multiple layers such as I sleep under at home would have ended up
on the floor far below.
I make my own blankets out of wool flannel, as the ready-made ones are
way too thick to suit me. And, because I use clearance flannel, they
are a teeny fraction of the price, even though I use two or three in
place of one.
