It's 5:36 a.m., and I'm still up--again. I need to be at the doctor's in less than 3 1/2 hours, why bother with any sleep now? (Says my mind.)
NO! I will not allow this horrible insomnia take over my life, rendering me useless and stupid the next day, with much worse pain to deal with. I chose not to take a sleeping pill the doc gave me a few samples of, as I didn't want to sleep past the doc offices before noon only-- Friday hours.
I need the PPD test that was given for work yesterday, and needs to be checked and give me a letter stating it is negative. Which it is. The PPD test is for Tuberculosis and any health care worker should have it. Just a little bubble put by needle, just barely under your skin and wait 3 days for any sign of swelling, a bump over the injection site, or redness.
I really don't think that I am the only one up in the world of Blogosphere; that odd time of night is coming to a close, and the sun is rising very soon. Circadian rhythm kicks in and well, you know.
I have an odd feeling that I have just a 'few' fellow posters out there doing the same thing.
Up all night..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......again.

Kim,
I am so sorry that you also suffer from Chronic Pain honey. We are a group of very strong people, you know that!! I thank you for adding me, I will be visiting your blog also after I post here!! Take care, I wish you a day of no, or low pain today. Gentle hugs!!
Different Day for me, but it is 1:20am and I'm WIDE awake. I understand your pain....
ReplyDeleteGood Blog you have here!
I've never heard of any scientific explanation for why sometimes it's possible to sleep ok for weeks or months at a time and other times, when one is feeling just as bad (or good), it becomes nearly impossible to sleep even though one is so tired. Hope you flip into the "sleeping ok" cycle real soon.
ReplyDeleteLanette,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and glad you like my Blog! I stayed up night before last all night and felt so crappy the next day. I just hate it when it happens, I feel tired, but no sleep comes. Yet it comes the next day around 4 I am worth nothing!
Maybe we'll run into each other one day (night)!!!!!!!
Shauna
Hi Shauna!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been over to your 'place' for awhile...things have just been so busy over here!! I wonder also why this happens...I'd like to research it more.
I hope this finds you feeling ok today....gentle hugs and much love!
Shauna :-)
P.S. Remember the blister? It is interesting still...the infection went away, the top was hard and black and starting to pull away as the skin under it heals...then...it caught on my pants when I was changing and pulled OFF! OWWWW The main area in the middle was not ready for that! (Neither was I!) Now I am dressing it again, and hoping it heals alright. Will keep ya posted.
Thanks for caring hun.
