Log #50 (Brick Wall)

50 log entries!!! That is the first milestone along the way!!!

I am writing early today so I can go to bed a little early tonight. I probably won't fall asleep any earlier, but it helps my wife sleep better if I go to bed when she does. Usually I wake up so often in the night because of pain that I don't get enough sleep. So between 3:00pm and 6:00pm I'm hitting a brick wall and can barely keep my eyes open. Right now is a perfect example as I struggle to write through the fog in my tired brain. I am doing what I can to not take my nap today so I can try to sleep when my wife does.  I'm speeding toward the brick wall though.



It is almost futile to try and reset my sleep schedule. Usually within a few days I'm back to the same point where I'm nodding off at different times during the day and then I stay awake until late at night writing my blog. I have to admit that it's easier to write late at night because I have fewer distractions plus it gives me a chance to reflect on the things that transpired throughout the day and decide what I want to write about. The down side is that it makes it harder for my wife to sleep when I'm not laying beside her and sleeping in longer makes me feel like the day has been wasted even though I know I needed that rest.

I am looking forward to this weekend because we don't have anything planned and I can rest my back and hope that the pain starts dying down. It is so bad right now that crossing my legs while laying in bed makes everything hurt worse. The pain shooting into my toes continues. It amazes me how fast the pain builds and how slow it subsides. If the Titanic sank at the same rate that my pain goes away then it could have made it to New York. Wow! Crazy thought! But, it's reality for me.
