Can't sleep

So once again I'm laid I'm bed unable to sleep due to pain and the nob head of neighbour below me banging doors and shouting to someone I have got a new flat just waiting to move in which I will be so glad about. Not been able to sleep is horrible is horrible you just go round and round in circles you ask for help they give you a leaflet about how to relax but when you have a 5mm tube Sticking out of you and pain it's not easy to relax. They say don't go on your phone or watch anything but if I lay in bed and do nothing I go crazy I hate silence so a few things I do are 1. Read 2. Do my blog 3.look at kitting patterns 4. Funny jokes and photos are always a great way to relax 5. Think of ideas to talk about on the blog 6. Do puzzles Everyone had there own thing to help them relax I tend to do a lot of thinking at night time and always come up with great craft ideas at night ( normally by morning I have forgot lol ) just wanted to let people know there not alone if...

So going out for lunch is so easy for loads of people but people with chronic illness is so much hard work with getting ready making sure you have your medication for the pain and make sure you have everything you might need for your catheter for if it leaks which happens way to much and to find comfortable clothes that you won't feel to uncomfortable in and trousers you can have your leg bag on So I'm off for lunch Talk soon
