Yes -- and avoid the snacks that aren't allowed!

Just saw this now. I think home is the best place to be Johanna.
I hope you have a speedy recovery. Put on some powerful beautiful music, that’s always good for the body.

My friend Tom and I recorded this in the early 1980s (remember cassette tapes?) -- I think it fits that description. You can stream or download at this link -- be ready though, it's over 16 minutes long. :-)

Mixed bag. The pain comes and goes unexpectedly. Mostly at night, so it's hard to sleep. It's going to be a long 3 months. |

Yes, it is :(
Days seem to be improving, but something about the night brings out the pain. |

I so feel for you...
I'm in a similar, but much less extreme, boat. I'm doing physical therapy 2x a week for shoulder and spinal alignment issues, and it's working well even if it IS like getting tortured twice a week, but sometimes the pain and cramps and spasms and such flare up in the wee hours and sleep is GONE. Thank heavens for the internet and cable TV and good books and crossword puzzles and a well-stocked refrigerator.
Hopefully you can access those things in your current state? If you can't get up and move/relocate that makes it evenmore awful. Nothing worse than lying in bed unable to sleep and not wanting to turn on lights/devices for fear of waking one's partner :-( |

I'm relatively ambulatory - can walk short distances, go up and down stairs, but no twisting, turning, bending, which is why I wear the shell. I've been treating with Tylenol for the whole week, but I keep waking up with the pain that seems to start at about 2. So I tried 1/2 Tramadol before bed (gives me nausea so I have to take it with Zofran), and that gave me 5 hrs uninterrupted. But then I woke up again with that very specific pain and couldn't find a spot for myself, so I got up and took Tylenol.
The odd thing is that for the most part, during the day, I barely have any discomfort whatsoever.
As for waking The Hand, he wakes up every time I turn over to ask if I'm ok and need help <3 |

| Really pleased that during the day you aren't being too troubled by your injury - and hoping the night time pain eases soon. |

| Hoping you can get some sleep soon but glad you have pain free days. This will obviously take time. You are lucky to have the most helpful and caring partner ever. |

Nothing worse than getting old with ailments and injuries.
I'm down to two modified positions that I can sleep in for short periods of time.
I sympathize greatly. Don't be afraid to try different things.
Some nights I can sleep better in a recliner packed with pillows.
Most of my issues have to do with trying to breathe, so that may not be helpful, but I do know that positioning is crucial.
Good luck!
