Missing Sleep So Much

Thursday, June 29, 2023

Being a decrepit old man sucks.  And nothing frustrates me more than the fact that I cannot get a good, solid night of sleep.  Last night, I went to bed at a reasonable time, just before 10:00.  Woke up at 12:30 with a delightful combination of needing to use the bathroom, back pain, and leg cramps.  Everything hurt.  Fortunately it resolved quickly and I went back to sleep ... until 4:15 when more cramping got me.  Not as easy to get back to sleep that time, ended up moving to the recliner and dozing for an hour between 6:00 and 7:00.  I need to be less fat, less inflamed and retaining a lot less liquid.  Recovery from this surgery is going to be hell.

Breakfast:  Home bread and butter, coffee

Again.

Lunch:   Deluxe sub

After 3:00.

Dinner:  TB 2x chipotle chx burrito, crispy chicken taco.  Masa tortilla chips w guac.  Mint chip ice cream

Thought today was the start of the Volcano menu, no sign of it though.  Oh well.  Ordered a sample pack of the Masa chips (no seed oil, fried in tallow).  Quite good, though they are crazy expensive.

Exercise:  Nope, still not possible.  I'd say the back is about 50% recovered, but still twinges with some movements.
