Distractions help ease the pain

I went to the doctors office today. Everything looks good so far.I have been waking up showering and doing the routine to feel good, put on a dress, put on make up. I have friends visiting, but by night time the pain is there. I am taking the pain medications every 4 hours writing every thing down so I don’t have to feel the pain and miss a dosage.

The distraction of having people here is great. I talk I hang out. But at night the throbbing begins again even though I am on the pain medication. I ask my Dad,” Why is it that at night, it hurts more, in the quiet?” I stay up as late as I can watching all my TIVO’s. Hours and hours of TV something I normally don’t do, to distract me from the pain, until I can fall asleep exhausted.
