[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457853, member: 11791"] Is there anything for a bed downstairs at all? If not, can you drag one mattress down and toss that on the floor? Mattress on floor is actually not to bad for comfort, for most people. I know that in our house - where we all have sleep issues at some point or another for different reasons... If one of us is sick, (or even just sick with anxiety so we know we won't sleep well) we don't even try to sleep in the same room. One of us moves out to the guest room - either the sick or the well, depending on how sick - its just a matter of logic. Its close enough that the other person can hear if you need help - far enough away to actually sleep. You could even get a second-hand baby monitor (cheap) so you can hear him from upstairs. You've got your hands full - the first week or two is the worst (was for us with Mom's stroke). After that, the major kinks are worked out and life can develop a pattern. medications... can you reach the family doctor over the weekend if you can't reach specialist? Sometimes, if the family doctor can see the original script, they will write a temporary script for the alternative - say, a week's worth - to keep you going. The family doctor knows who you are - it doesn't work going to a walk-in. Lots of thoughts and hugs... ps: You did the right thing telling him that if he got into trouble you'd take him back to emergency... in other words, there is a "plan b", so he can relax a bit.
