It’s been 25 years…
Last night was the worst pain night for me in quite some time. I couldn’t sleep at all, though I tried. My leg, ankle, and foot was burning and painful so bad. It’s been 25 years I have been dealing with this. I had my first surgery for this 25 years ago. I didn’t think I would be able to walk again and it took three months for me to do it. It was hard. I was in pain and no one would help me because I was young. One doctor told me I would be in pain the rest of my life. I nearly had a breakdown after that.
I finally fell asleep around 630 or so. But I woke up like three times before noon. I got up and had my coffee. I made some food and then went upstairs for a nap. I didn’t really sleep, I just rested for like two hours. I have a headache. I feel very weird, like my brain is having a hard time functioning. My urine culture came back. I just hope the antibiotic I am on is susceptible to it. I will find out on Monday.
I have been dealing with heartburn most of the night and today. Everything I eat gives me it. I think it is the weight loss drug. I have been losing a pound a week. I am surprised with all the walking I did this week, I only dropped one pound. I am getting so discouraged. I have two pounds to go to 200. I want to be less than 200 by the end of the semester.
I guess I am letting my hair grow out. I don’t feel like shaving it. I haven’t done anything for self-care. I just don’t feel like it.
