My wife doesn't wear ear plugs, like yours, but if I do get on my back and start to snore, she has a wicked right hook, reminiscent of Bruce Woodcock which encourages me to turn back on my side. I can't complain because she has bone on bone arthritis in her right hip and is in far worse pain than I. Waiting for a hip replacement.

I can commiserate with your knee problems -- I "blew" my right knee while sailing of all things some years ago - did a number on both cartilege and ligaments.Managed to evade the operation but have to keep all in order with regular leg raising excercies.
