5/20/04 - Ooooh, My Aching Bones

Hard to get to sleep last night, but I was a bad girl (stayed up till midnight checking out the AI forum); as a result, I couldn't get sleepy enough till I had taken more pain meds (Advil) and then tossed and turned for a couple more hours....
Had to wake at 4:30 am to stagger to the bathroom, nausea and splitting headache hit, so here I am, quasi-awake, in mortal agony, with only (maybe) 3 hours of sleep under my belt...
I will be messed up for days now.

Starting today, I will begin my morning posts with a 'wake up log' of my pain levels, meds and sleep tally. It's what I should be doing everyday, but have failed at doing the handwritten attempts...
