MISSED THERAPY TODAY
I am so upset at myself. I don't know why I am posting this twice today. Once on my timeline on Facebook and now here on Starlight's Journal.
Today I had a therapy appointment in Claremore. It wasn't until 11:00 a.m. I was truly looking forward to it as I am feeling better and better. I thought I had a good plan to get a good night's sleep by using my CPAP machine for the first time in months, so I wouldn't be to sleepy to drive. I did sleep with my machine running and I felt I got a good 8 hours of sleep, but I guess that wasn't enough.
I set my alarm for a decent time to wake up and have plenty of time to get ready to head to Claremore. Enough time not to be rushed to get there on time. Many times I wait around to long for a leasure drive. Usually I get there right on time. My alarm went off and I checked my machine. I had been asleep with it on for 8 hours and 49 minutes. I felt good, but not ready to wake up for the day, so I hit the snooze button once. This gave me another ten minutes to get awake. The alarm went off again, but I still wasn't ready to wake up for the day. So I shut the alarm off. I layed there trying to get awake and get around, but I finally decided there was no way I could make the 20 mile drive and be on time without falling asleep. I had to call and cancel yet another session.
I was so glad to get rid of my sling. I had to wear that 24/7 and it was getting very annoying. I was able to use my arm and hand more and more but still needed not to use my shoulder muscles that much yet. I had been able to start sleeping in my own bed. The first few nights I still had to wear the sling. It was after that when I started having trouble with pain at night laying on my back to sleep. If I don't take a arthritis pain reliever before going to bed, I wind up having to get up and go take one. I am praying that soon will go away.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers for patients with my healing and not doing to much to aggravate the repairs to my rotator cuff. I am praying I won't have to have shoulder replacement surgery in about 5 years. Possibly this repair will last to the end of my days on this earth.
Thanks so much for listening. Please make comments if you wish to my posts.
May God continue to Bless you.
