Good morning everyone and how are you all today ? I am a bit tired today. I had trouble sleeping last night could not get comfortable. I think I finally got comfortable enough around 2am and slept til 8:30am. So yeah I may be taking a nap later today. I have to wear a brace wrap around my waist to help keep my sternum from breaking open and that's why i don't sleep well. It's hard to move around with that on. I finally did manage to sleep on my side again so that helped a bit but still got a little pain so had to go lay on my back again. I'm sure sooner or later my sleeping will come back to me. No real plans today. My nurse is coming at 1030am this morning to check my vitals and get my bloodwork to check my coumadin levels. Then my other nurse that stays with me during the day (my boyfriends mom) will be here at 10. She helps me to shower, go for walks and get meals. This week she will be working 10am-2pm as I feel I don't need a nurse all day long. I'm able to get myself out of bed now, I can get some food by myself. I basically can do everything just not the showering and getting my ted socks on myself. It will be nice only having her here 4 hours instead of 8 like last week. I try to take a nap but she loves to talk. So we will see how it works out this week. No real plans today just watching movies, might read my book and hoping to get outside for a bit. What do you all have planned for today ? I hope you have a good day and I'll try to get to articles when I can. It's hard too when she is here cuz like I said she likes to talk and is always with me. So bare with me. Have a great day! Photo Credit: lovethispic.com

@dodo19 I have a feeling it's going to be like that for awhile until I get this wrap off. It's hard to move comfortably yet but as long as I can nap here and there I am good.

@DianneN No I can't sleep at night if I nap. I end up just going to bed late if I take naps.

@Blondie2222 Glad you napped. You needed it. If you are like me, you can sleep at night after a nap. I can't wait to crawl into bed tonight.

@id_peace one day at a time and I always have someone with me when I go out as i'm not steady yet and at risk of falling. I am doing better each day at walking though.

I'm sure you're happy that you can do things for yourself but don't overdo it. Sorry you're having trouble getting into a comfortable position to sleep.

@Marilynda1225 don't worry I don't. I can't lift over 10 lbs yet so i'm limited to what I can do. I mostly just watch movies all day and read when I'm not tired.
