I haven’t been sleeping well, so I was exceptionally fatigued all day. I felt OK at the beginning of the day, and went for a walk with my friend Jan. She helped me walk Tink and then I had several things planned for the rest of the day, and was very excited to work on a particular project.

Instead, I found I couldn’t do the project because I was lacking an adapter to connect the computer to my sewing machine. With that delayed, I started something else, but fatigue hit me hard and I couldn’t recover. I tried napping, but these drainage tubes make even napping during the day difficult. I can hardly wait for these drains to come out, so I can lay down normally to sleep. As it is right now, I am not comfortable laying down because it causes pain to my chest. I have been sleeping every night in the recliner in the front room, and I will sleep up to four hours, but I still wake up at least two to three times during the night usually from pain, or just needing to go to the bathroom.

Today was the kind of fatigue that if I don’t get some good sleep soon, I feel like I might get ill. So maybe tonight I will sleep better.
