sleep

I'm trying to see if the pattern could be broken. I take pain meds around 9 or 10 so I could go to sleep. And I do for about 3 - 4 hours... then I'm usually up at around 1 or 2 or 3... I take some extra strength Tylenol to take the edge off and sometimes doze of and on for another couple of hours. Then i'm awake for the rest of the night. Sometimes I pray, for it is quiet and peaceful.. many times, I'm in too much pain to want to do anything and I wish I could get some reprieve even for just a bit.  Then I realize that God has provided some relief... I am able to sleep some with the pain meds.... it's when I get tired of a position and I have to move that I get in trouble.  I felt so bad for Mahal last night.. I am afraid I was a bit cranky and whiny and he tried to re-arrange the pillows so many different ways and I could not for the life of me find a comfortable spot at all. He has been so patient and did complain or get annoyed at me at all. He said he just wished I could find a comfortable position. He said he had expected that it would take a long time for the healing process so he expects me to be in pain for bit. How grateful I am that he understands and even anticipates what I need. I just wish we could both get a full night's sleep for once. But, I know God sees me wiggling about.. and He is listening when I whisper to Him at night.  I hope you all got a good night's sleep tonight.... sweet dreams...
