So I'm a traveling nurse. I move sometimes fairly frequently. I need to be somewhat portable although I admit to not being very good at this. Traveling light isn't necessarily my forte'. So I have an air mattress that I sleep on. I spent the money to get a pretty decent one. It's one of the aer0bed ones and I think I paid a little under $300 a little over a year ago. It's been working great. So the other day I was in bed, asleep. All of the sudden there was this crazy loud noise that woke me. My first thought was that my bed had
collapsed. The fact that I was sort of looking up at the right side of my bed reinforced that idea. Then I remembered that it was an air bed and it couldn't "collapse". So then I'm trying to figure out why the side of my bed is higher than the middle. I got up and after peeling back the sheet and mattress pad I figured it out. One of the creases in the bed (I have no idea what they are for) had popped up. Hence the noise and the lump. My bed. It has a hernia.
I ended up turning it around so the lump was on the other side since I get out of bed on the side it was on. It seems to be working
ok. I also let some of the air out in case that was something that contributed to the problem. I'm hoping that this doesn't happen with more of the crease things as I really would rather not go buy a new bed.
If you would like to play along with show and tell or just see what others are showing this week head on over to Mel's place at
Stirrup Queens and join the fun.

I hope there are no more hernias in this mattress, and that you don't get awakened by them anymore.
I guess a hernia repair is out of the question? Here's hoping you get your rest regardless of your bed. Thank you for your comment on my blog and cute Show and Tell.
I hope that doesn't happen to the side you are sleeping on...that probably wouldn't be a good way to wake up.
That's cute that your bed has a hernia. :) Never heard of that one before....that's a first for me. :)
Oops...hope there are no more hernias in your bed's future. What a weird way to be woken up.
That's a first - a hernia in a bed! Ha-ha ...but not really cause you still need your rest.
Here's hoping there's no more strange noises in the night!
oh yuck, how unfortunate
ha ha, I just had to laugh when you said that your bed has a hernia!!! Quick, take to the surgery!!
Lumpy beds are no good!
"My bed. It has a hernia."
This struck me as reeeally funny!
hmm...air mattress hernias huh? i hope it doesn't turn into the next epidemic!! ;) i hope the rest of the creases stay put for you!
i used to have an air mattress that had a "hernia" at one end when i bought it. it wasn't supposed to be there, but i just used it as a pillow.
thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
I can totally get it.... so so sorry for you! Hugs!
Oh my goodness, that is SO funny!!!!!! Freakin' hilarious! XOX

I hope its not serious, this hernia! It struck me funny...although I have the same air bed--so I hope it ain't catching!
A bed with a hernia? That's new...
