7 am
Mood- snarky with a dash of brain fog
Health- challenging
I have yet to sleep, so I do not even know if I can call it "today" yet or if I am still stuck in yesterday...
Every time I try to lay down to sleep it feels like the room is shaking, an earthquake... but I know that it is just my muscles spasming and quivering from electrolyte and magnesium deficiency. My ears are also ringing louder than usual (remember the sound of the fire alarms in school? Well, that is about the frequency and volume of it) which makes falling asleep a challenge.
The nausea is ever present and volatile, like the gnawing of a trapped animal in my stomach but my supply of TUMS is running low (the only medication I can take) so I will just have to try to ignore it. I would put my pain level at about a 7 (out of 10) so pretty normal for me (you can get used to anything if you have no choice in the matter).
Through the night I managed to drink about 6 ounces of fluid, making my total for yesterday 18 ounces... slightly off my goal of 20 ounces a day so I know I will have to try to get a little extra in today if I can.
I was planning on trying to crawl around the yard and yank out some weeds and direct my husband as he planted a few sapplings we gathered from my parents woods last week today, but in my present condition I do not see that happening :(
I will try to post more later, but right now I need to try to sleep again... 'good sleep schedules' are for the normals... I just feel lucky when I am able to get good quality sleep and can wake feeling refreshed at all.
