Entry Description
After a divorce; my daughter and I was forced to move in with a family member. I slept on an old leather sofa that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I lived in this condition for 3½ years until I saved enough money to buy a house. After moving in, we slept on the floor for several months before I was able to buy a mattress for my daughter. After sleeping on a sofa for 3½ yrs. the full size inexpensive mattress was a welcomed friend. We doubled up on the new mattress like little girls at a pajama party. After about 1 week we started finding bumps on our body that itched ungodly. My doctor said they were bedbug bites! It turned out that I was sold a refurbished mattress and not a new one! Of course, I got rid of the mattress and the only other piece of furniture; the sofa. My daughter had an allergic reaction to the bites and was treated with steroids. The professionals took care of the bugs. We are still stressed and to top it off; we’re back to sleeping on the floor.
