First Light, Still Awake

Yes, sleep evades me this evening as I research why the pain came back so strongly yesterday. Too much, too soon, perhaps—but without a second X-ray, I may never know.

After a telehealth appointment and a prescription for some seriously strong painkillers, I thought the numbness would help me sleep. Now, with first light at my heels, perhaps sleep will arrive soon.

Of course, lying down—or whatever version of that I can manage—may make it more likely.

And once again, it’s tomorrow. I feel fine… until the tiredness actually kicks in.
