What keeps you from getting a good night’s
sleep?
I used to be fortunate enough to sleep well. Granted, during Madelle’s darkest days of
fighting mental illness, I spent a few nights not sleeping. Also, when family members are worrying me, I
have a hard time getting to sleep. Like
last night, I struggled because of one of my kids. This always passes and doesn't bother me but
for a day or two. I am not that
fortunate any more.
In the past year, my sleep habits have crashed. I am usually in to much pain to sleep through
the night. I start in the bed, but in a
couple of hours or one hour more likely, I have to move to a recliner. My right hip is constantly inflamed. I swear it almost feels like it is on fire. I have upped my meds. No help there. I finally received a prescription for physical
therapy. My doc and I are going to have
a coming to Jesus talk about this, but that is another story! I hope the therapy helps. At the moment, the exercises seem to be making
it worse, but I hope that is only temporary. Time will tell. I really hope this turns around. The lack of sleep and constant pain are doing
a number on me.
