An hour earlier.

.
.
Or so.  When recoverying, I simply need more sleep.  The first couple of days I slept even more.  Twelve hours last night.  Again, I did set the alarms.  Hoping to wake at four.  Actually, hoping to wake at two or three.  Couldn't do it this morning.  And knew that wrestling with the snooze bar would only frustrate me.  So, when it went off, I turned it off immediately.

However, I woke a bit before six, turned on the light, sat up, and shut the alarm down before it sounded.  It took me nearly the ten minutes before to finally get socks on, and get up.  Wearing pj's to bed, and had been wearing socks, but it got too warm.

I did figure out the cold problem in the house yesterday.  I had let the window, upstairs, stay open.  And there was enough of a breeze, and it was a cool enough day in spite of being warmer, to just suck the heat right out.

I did reset the bed for a much warmer trim, and used the electric blanket, plus closed that window.  So slept warm, almost too warm.  Which was fine.  I needed to sleep warm.

Still, I pretty much have to fully wake up before trying to roll, or something could get really hurt.  On my right foot, it started with the pinky toe hurting.  Now all of them hurt.  As well, the ankle and knee are still really rough.  As well, that bruilse hurts.  But can hurt a lot more if I roll on or into it.  So, yes, waking fully, before rolling, is required.  Which means sleep sort of sucks.

Warmth does help.  There is that.  I would like to wear compression socks, but... right now, even getting those on, would be atrick.  And... all the wounds... makes that tricky.  I'll talk to them at wound care.  See if we can sort it so as to wear those, if they want those to be worn.

A bit achy, but not terrible.  So far, mostly.  Mostly still a bit tired, but with good enough sleep to wake up and try to push through.  I'll try to make it to 17:00 ~ 18:00 tonight.  Then sleep as well as possible.  Good day, morning, whatnot.
