Back to work tomorrow

Benedryl makes me drowsy enough to sleep. I was hospitalized years ago with some bizarre rare syndrome. I hadn't slept in days and they were afraid to medicate me because I could stop breathing. They gave me Benedryl' date=' which just makes you drowsy enough to dose off. Afterwards Benedryl helped me get rest whenever I had trying times and couldn't sleep.[/quote']

All the Benadryl that Walgreens had in liquid was flavored for children and I didn't want to risk the sugar content. I got the melt away melatonin instead. I came home early but did not nap- really hoping that with the melatonin and only 2 hours sleep last night that I can sleep.

The melatonin let me fall asleep. I did toss and turn a lot the past few hours but overall a much better night than the one before.

How was your day today? Did you last all day? I hope you're feeling well.

Since my boss is being so great (he loves me anyway) I'm working just till early afternoon this week so I don't overdo it. I don't think I could have stayed any longer than I did today anyway. I left at 1. I was so tired and having some pain in my butt from sitting so long- starting in the hospital from laying in the bed my butt was sore and then went numb. So the work chair was bothering me pretty bad- guess I need to buy a cushion- it never bothered me before. I didn't nap when I got home though I was exhausted- the heat outside isn't helping that. I was afraid if I napped I'd have trouble sleeping again tonight.

I took a shower when I got home and removed my steri strips. Then I laid down and watched a movie. My sister brought me a cup of sonic ice which made me very happy. I'm not getting enough fluids yet- I'm still eating on these. I know I'll sleep good tonight. I'm so relieved I don't have to work all day this week. Thursday afternoon I have my follow up with surgeon.
