Trying to stay awake

I’m totally exhausted. Wiped out. I had therapy this morning over zoom. The session was a difficult one. It left me feeling drained.

On top of that, I never slept at all last night, because no matter what I did, I just couldn’t get comfy.

If I lay down, I couldn’t breathe, and when I propped myself up on 3 pillows, I wasn’t comfortable.

My PA Trish brought me some items that I needed from the pharmacy. She brought me lemsips with paracetamol in them, vix gel, and throat losenges.

I also left a message with Dr. Barry’s secretary, to ask her if I can either push my appointment out to next week, or if not, then would it be possible for Dr. Barry to call me on Wednesday.

There is no way I can go up to Dr. Barry feeling so sick.

It was all I could do to shower and get dressed for my therapy session this morning. But I did it.

I’m proud that I was able to accomplish that despite feeling so crappy.

I hope I can rest some time this afternoon. I could badly use the sleep.

    I use to use magnisium (I am spelling wrong) to help me sleep. My mom is the one who told me about it and it worked wonderfully. Natural. I did wean myself off of it several years ago once I had gotten my sleep back under control. I hope that you had a rest and got sleep. Hugs. 🙂
