I fought a cold this weekend, and on Monday, it wiped me out. I worked in the morning, came home by noon, and slept pretty much til 7.
I know part of my recovery woes is the lack of quality rest. If I get 4 straight hours of sleep, its a miracle. I've resorted to sleeping half the night on the living room floor, my legs on top of the seat of the recliner, taking pressure off of my hips.
But the lack of/sporadic sleep and the constant pain are taking its toll mentally, because I find myself more and more depressed.
So I'm to the point that I force myself to eat, because I just don't feel like it. I find chores that I can do that I can move around, or stand, so that I just don't lay around and lose strength. I hate to admit it though, work wipes me out. After a day of work, and the pain involved, it drains me.
So, pretty much business as usual.
