Thursday slow lane

I have been somewhat beating myself up for how I just plain feel in the mornings most of the time. I just don't fight against the "should get up", instead I just prefer to stay laying there with the "whats to get up for" thinking and the overwhelming desire to just stay sleeping.... (remember I could be related to Rip Van Winkle).

And the funny thing is that when I get up at 11:00 or noon, after 12-14 hours of sleeping or resting, I yawn like I am lacking sleep the entire time I am washing up, or showering, blowing my hair dry, etc... but that's not exactly what I'm feeling (sometimes) cause it happens at night as well, like when we go out for a walk, a very short walk to what amounts to about 12 housing lots to the west of our house and back. It has the most level sidewalk on our block being fairly new after the new houses went in. For a long time it was just grass, dirt and uneven, like it still is across the street. We homeowners appreciated the city of Bellflower updating our rural living.

Aw, but there is an answer that I just DON'T LIKE and will have to face it as being the truth.. I am taking two meds 4X a day that are to heal the nerves and relax the muscles in my back, I get a bit of spasms and jerking after taking them. Now whenever I should take them with the pain med, which is only when it's at it's most painful in the foot with constricting, extreme pinching, burning, where the nerve root damaged in the middle back by the broken bone that pressed against it for weeks. This could take 6-9 months to regenerate and stop the pain if I am lucky. If you mix ALL OF THREE of them they each have a side affect of drowsiness and these are the ones I have been dealing with at different times, not all the side affects I have had, so I did not list those.

Nureontin for nerve healing; Dialudid(hydromorphine) Back pain; Drowsiness, changes in vision (double or blurred vision); clumsiness; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; nausea; stomach upset; tiredness;

Today I got up at the last possitble moment to shower and get ready for the day, Aunt Elsie was coming for a visit at noon. But she beat me here, so I had to hustle into my clothes and I made it downstairs for a very nice visit!!! I have felt today clumsy, blurred vision, stomach upset, I guess the reason I am slow to action.
