Once again, I had a bad night. Just when I think everything is good, the rules change on me. I was pretty happy the rest of the day without taking any pain meds. I took a nice nap on the living room sofa and then woke up to have some flowers delivered from my dentist. Nice. Anyway, afterwards, I couldn't fall back asleep. Basically I couldn't get comfortable, but didn't think much of it because I'd slept for a while anyway. Becky and Kathy came home around 18:30 or so and I was up, but not feeling the best. I was up with them and had supper (a Nutraburst drink, or something like that, vanilla this time, instead of the same old chocolate) and then thought I'd go to bed. Well, it was impossible! I simply couldn't get comfortable. Actually, it wasn't that I couldn't get comfortable, it was that there was a complete and utter lack of anything resembling comfort to be found. A little semantics, yes, but there's a difference and to me it's important. I got up at one point and "talked" to Becky about it, but didn't come to much of a conclusion: I was going to try the heating pad for a while and see if that helped. It's hard to say if it did or didn't. I think I layed there, not tired or awake, happy or sad comfy or uncomfortable for an hour or more. Again, I couldn't take it so I got up, bit the bullet and downed some pain med. I only did it so the darned stuff would knock me out. It did, but I notice it took longer than usual. I think I slept a full 4-6 hours that time, probably the most contiguous sleep I've gotten since Wednesday night last week. Anyway, I feel crappy this morning, but got up and had my Ensure for breakfast and then took a shower and took my pictures for all of you. I blew the first one, too close, but included it anyway, just for something different. Oh, I'm still at 77.6 K this morning.
Becky stopped by this afternoon for some lunch, but I was out of it for a change (thank goodness). She snapped these pictures for you all.
