Running on Empty
The fatigue of all I have been dealing with finally caught up with me yesterday and as a result I slept part of the afternoon, and evening and again so fatigued I couldn't get up to watch 24 and Heroes with hubby. I woke up long enough to take my meds and say good nite to hubby and fell back to sleep until 6 this morning.
I woke up in pain, and in tears as I guess the pain woke me up. I am so worn out from all of this I don't quite know what to do next. I did fax in a request for a release of all of my medical records from my surgeon to be sent to me for us to review before my next visit. If the pain continues as it has these past 4 days I won't be able to stand it until May 24th when my next appt is scheduled to be. We are tossing around the idea of a second opinion. I think hubby thinks I should just get the knee replacement but I have two other things to be done this year, one being having surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I feel overwhelmed with all my health problems and my spirit is so worn out I woke up asking hubby to pray for me before he had to leave for work as I feel like I am giving up, but perhaps it is more that I am giving out under the duress of almost constant pain.
So another long day ahead of me.. hoping for moments of relief, and sleep to escape the pain.
