Sleepless Nights

Another day of radiation is behind me. Tomorrow will make 10 out of 33 behind me. Amazing I am almost 1/3 of the way through this part of the journey! I am putting the cream on the radiated area and it seems to be keeping my skin moisturized.
I did not sleep very good last night. I was having trouble staying awake until 10:00. I got in bed went to sleep and slept for about an hour and a half and then I am wide awake. What is up with that? My hip hurts so much I can't get comfortable. I try to lay on it and it is painful, I try to lay on the left hip and it hurts the right hip, so I am left with the back which seems so boring. I can't seem to feel as curled and cozy as I use to on my side. So I read for an hour or so and try to sleep some more. Which I do, but just a couple of hours and then I repeat the above until 6:00 when I get up. It was a long night! I hope tonight will be better.
We will be off in the morning to the new orthopedic doctor. Ken took off to go with me. I think he was concerned I would not be able to get to the doctor or get home by myself. I am glad he is going with me. I have a lot of paperwork that I need to fill out. I got my x-rays, but the forms are very extensive. More on the visit later. Have a good weekend and do something you enjoy!
