Another day, same old me!

Well here it is a beautiful Sunday and I am sitting here watching some football on television and I am trying to focus on the things that I can do to make myself healthier and not concentrate on the things that I can't do. That is pretty hard though. I was asleep foe like 12 hours last night. That is pretty strange since I am not on morphine at this time. I guess being on so many medications finally catches up with you. Also I think your body says it needs more sleep than at other times! I also am trying to get my sleep pattern straight, since I use to work the night shift before I contracted this disease I can't seem to be able to sleep at nights. I feel so much better if I go to sleep at night and wake up at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning. It makes me feel somewhat normal.

I have a cat and she is so bored she is asleep on my bed as I am sitting here writing this. Sometimes I think that she is my only friend! I guess it is easy to feel that way when you don't have a social life and you are pretty much confined to bed. I advise anyone who suffers with this disease to try and stay involved with your family and friends as much as possible. I have tried to do that, but, unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way I had hoped. I am going to the dermatologist tomorrow and to my family doctor on Tuesday. Then it is off to the new pain doctor on the 29th and to the doctor who specializes in treating high cholesterol on the 30th. Oh, I also have to have blood work done tomorrow also. I have to fast for 14 hours before I go and that makes it kinda tough. But, another day and another step closer to reaching the end of my nightmare! At least I hope........
