Brots, these ones, must have sugar despite their label. There are only three left. I will finish them. I'll make a slaw dressing and have that on the side. Blood sugar had been 199 before a few brots, the last of the steamed cabbage, and tea. After four hours, much of it sleeping, and a solid dose of insulin, it is 152. I'll get to it. Back on the other meds, off since Saturday evening. Full dose return.
I set the cot up. The kidney region throbbing had become unbearable, so I napped on the cot. The throbbing continued on in to sleep. I woke to a few remaining aches, but the dissipated quickly. It isn't perfect. Still, really, too hot down here to do much. But I am awake for just a bit. I will enjoy a bit of time then go on back to bed.
As with medicine, food, and else, I have been neglecting sleep. Not a choice. Between the pain of sleep and the heat, there... I got what I could get. I haven't given up sleeping on the floor, I am simply taking a break. It may not be possible, or with what I have. Or, I just need a break as I adjust. The cot isn't a joy, itself, simply easier.
At first I didn't think the cot was going to work. I had initially believed it might be cooler, with cold air over and under. I was sleeping on top of a sleeping bag, which initially did make it too hot. Well, and I was heated from having helped with the duck hutch. There is no way to cool down quickly, even cool showers just heat me up.
So, initially, it was a bit hot. However, over time, I did cool. And my butt got a wee frosted. Not really a bad thing, but in a longer game. I will be sleeping on the cot until sleep is back in trim, so I will need to sort that out. I just, well, it's strange. I've never had a frigid ass before, or as the only component near frozen. Too funny.
I stayed up all night, due to aches, pains, and heat, as well to be awake for work. Even so I couldn't sleep until late afternoon, and then only for a few hours. I need more sleep. This time I'll try the sleeping pad under all, and my makeshift mattress on that, then a blanket and/or bedspread. I'll remove the sleeping bag, it doesn't make a good sleeping pad. If I decided to use it, it will be zipped out as another blanket.
Later, good night, etc.
