How redundant eh?
For some time now, I have been attending a Pain Center for injections. These are to treat chronic pain issues. Usually they are painful themselves (isn't that the cherry on top) so I am given awake sedation to help with the pain. I come home and go to sleep for a while to wear off the sedation. Now today, I had an injection in my neck but I can't go to sleep. I have to stay on a regular schedule because I have to undergo a sleep study on Sunday night....I need to be able to fall asleep at around 10 or 11pm on Sunday evening. If I fall asleep now, my sleep schedule for the entire weekend will be off and then the sleep study will be a waste of time and money.
Why a sleep study you ask? Well, they think I have sleep apnea. Apparently, I have little passages inside my wee little nose and in the back of my throat and I snore, wake up choking, am always thirsty in the middle of the night, and overall wake up too many times during the night. That leaves me tired the next day.
Well someone slap me upside the head. Can someone have finally figured out some of my health problems. The doc said sleep apnea can cause all sorts of problems.
So now I am in a ton of pain from the shots but doing my best to sit up at the computer instead of falling asleep. Thanks to my husband for not letting me use the laptop in bed; at leaset I would be comfortable.
Maybe just another hour then I'll get some zzzz's.

Not true about the laptop, you should just be resting. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI know. He was right. The pain was too much to hold my head up.
