Bad night.





Slept maybe two hours?

And when I finally did fall asleep this afternoon Hubby was working outside on our pool filter that was leaking and he had to go out to Pinch A Penny for a new casing, after all it is twelve years old, but he fixed it!

Anyway, the phone rang while he was outside and I was trying to catch up on some zzzzz.
I was so groggy when I picked up the landline that I was happy Hubby came in, just in time to rescue me and let me try to get back to sleep.

The call was finally our insurance adjuster, and she made arrangements with Hubby since Hubby systematically has put our vast schedules all in his phone, and for that I thanked him profusely.

Oh why did I not sleep last night?
Pain.
My latest has to do with my left foot with the tendinitis, I do not sleep with the boot.
I do slip the boot back on to go to the restroom while using the walker during the night, hard maneuvering though too.
My tummy also was not doing well, and so I took my Pepcid Complete that I only take when needed.
I realized this morning that I had not put the Gabapentin in my medicine container, and I checked the entire week and yep I goofed! Not good, only take one in the morning and one at night for pain and sleeping, ha.
I had weaned myself back down to just the two a few weeks ago, so having none for me will cause problems!
Strong stuff.
Oh and my right hand that needs the surgery also causes pain, the brace on it helps for awhile then hurts so basically on and off all day and night long! If I wasn't right handed I would have had it done already, my left was done way back in 2001! A few years ago I checked to see if the procedure had changed, hoping the process was sped up, and no longer taking nearly four months, but it hasn't! Surgery of the basilar joint, is short, only about twenty minutes, but then after they put a piano brace on you for ten days while the stitches heal, then the cast for six weeks and then lastly two months of occupational therapy! Too long.

Hubby's swollen face, from the wasp sting, is better, it was a teensy weensy bit swollen this morning, but got better as the day went on.
He sleeps well no matter what!
Jealous.

Take care, share your blessings as we will too!

And next time be here or be square, ya hear!
