no sleep due to pain

No sleep due to pain

I had a CRPS flare last night that has continued through today. I have been in pain all day. I slept for a few hours and then woke up at 130am. I never went back to sleep. I tried napping a few times today but couldn’t fall asleep as I had dates to keep. I had ordered my groceries, talked to my friend in Scotland, and then had therapy. It was a busy day.

In therapy, I felt so depressed and lifeless. We talked about the weird dreams I had the other night. It didn’t make any sense. I told her I felt sad after our session. She asked what I could do to distract myself. I couldn’t think of anything. I have been listening to music and playing with the puppy but I still feel down. I can’t seem to get out of this funk and I know it is because I am in pain and haven’t slept.

I haven’t done anything after therapy. I tried to get the puppy’s attention but she wouldn’t have anything to do with me for some reason. When my sister came home, she said grabbed the leash and she will go out. I hesitantly did so, thinking she would hide but she came down the stairs and we went out for a bit. Didn’t walk more than a house or two away then I took her in the backyard. She did well there. I got tired after a while and my ankle was really hurting me so I went upstairs.

Sox lost again, second game in a row where they had the lead and gave it up. Fuckers. I am so mad. Tomorrow I am not doing anything. I am going to try and read my book most of the day so I can finish it. I am more than half way through it. I just wish I didn’t have to stop after I finished a chapter. I don’t know why I do this. It’s like I have to process what I read before I can go to the next chapter or something. It annoys me.

any thoughts?
