Sometimes I wonder if this is just a part of getting older. Most times I just think it's because my body hurts and sleep eludes me when my body hurts. 10 novocaine shots will do that to a jaw. Funny, she can't get me numb and then after she finally does it feels like I have gone 12 rounds with Sugar Ray Leonard for about a week afterward.
I wish I had known that my body was going to revolt in my 40's, I would have enjoyed my 20's and 30's oh so much more. I would have been more adventurous and less fearful. I would have gone skydiving and bungee jumping. I would have skiied more and worried less. I would have run. I would have played. I would have lived.
I feel like I say "ow" too much when in truth I say it only about 1/10th of the time that I really feel pain. If I told my husband how often this broken body of mine really feels like just taking a breather I think he would just call the nursing home now. I refuse to give in to it.
Except at three nineteen am. Then I just get angry. I would like to at least sleep. I don't think that is asking too much.
Oh, hope you’ll be able to sleep ok soon & no the nursing home is many decades away for you. :)
ReplyDeleteHaving worked in nursing homes, I think I would rather go the euthanasia route, lol. I slept like the dead last night. It was amazing. I actually don't think I moved once.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love you for saying MANY decades away. You just made my whole day :D
It's not asking too much. Not at all. I don't know how you keep up with yourself, not at all, not even a little.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the real housewives of ny too. is it too much to think someday we'll have a girls night marathon?
