Another Week

Another week has gone by. I think not working has messed me up slightly. It’s hard to remember what day of the week it is. Everyday is about the same. With my insomnia, I struggle to make it to morning. Usually I get some sleep early in the night but then wake up and cannot fall back asleep. For example, I slept from 11:00 pm to about 3:00 am this morning, then I’ve been up for the past 2.5 hours. Next, I have dialysis Tu/Th/Sat which brings me to 1:00 pm. Usually I’m pretty wiped so maybe home for lunch and a nap. Then it’s late afternoon and time for dinner. After dinner, probably a few hours of TV then repeat cycle of trying to sleep again. Arg!

My surgery was on 11/14 and I was discharged from the hospital on 11/21. Counting from the surgery date, I’ve make it five weeks and am staring the sixth week, which means I have seven weeks before returning to work. I probably need to find a day next month to visit work and discuss how I’m going to re-integrate back to work at the beginning of February.
