It's my second day back at work full time post surgery and, while for that I am extremely grateful, I am also extremely tired. I know, I know...it's only DAY TWO! I was on call last night too which didn't help. Being on call means I have to have my work phone on and ready in case a crisis worker needs to run something past a supervisor and, sure enough, at 4am this morning that happened. Which, of course, just added to the overall crappiness of my night.
You see, since surgery, I haven't been able to fall asleep all that well. My surgical leg does this weird thing where it takes forever to relax at night. Each muscle seems to contract and relax independently of one another for about an hour or two driving me completely insane. Often, I have to finally just get up and walk around a while to get it to stop. So once I do finally fall asleep getting a rude awakening at 4am isn't really what I need. But it's part of the job, so it goes.
I know that in time I'll get back some of my strength and stamina and I won't feel quite so draggy as I do now. In the meantime...there's not enough coffee in the world today! Maybe if I had in an IV drip...
