Wrong Pillow, Restless Night, Sore Body

I changed the sheets on the bed yesterday. I have two pillows but only use one and I didn't pay enough attention to which pillow went into which pillowcase. I won't make that mistake again.

When I was going to sleep, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get comfortable. Tried laying on my left side until my shoulder started to ache...ditto with the right side. When I tried laying on my back, both shoulders ached. Ugh! I finally fell asleep propped sitting up against the wall. Which meant I woke up two hours later because my hips and lower back hurt from the pressure. Tried laying down again and that is when I discovered that I had been using the wrong pillow. Shoulders still hurt trying to lay on my side so I tossed and turned for a couple hours before falling asleep on my back. I actually slept for several hours then but woke up so stiff and sore I wasn't sure I could move. It's kind of scary to wake up and not be sure if you can roll over. I thought I was going to have to wake up the hubby to help me.

Who knew that sleeping on the wrong pillow could wreck such havoc on my body? Stupid fibro!
