I am likely one of the worst sleepers there ever was. On a good night I may actually sleep a full two hours at a time. In fact if I sleep more than that it is a sure sign I'm sick. Well, with my leg injury sleep became more of a challenge. You see I do not sleep well on my back, I need to be on my side in almost a foetal position. Then I change back and forth through the night in the allergy shuffle. With my injury I had no choice but to sleep on my back with my leg elevated. It has been pure misery with me now in a constant state of sleep deprivation. My eyes have the biggest saddle bags ever that when combined with my allergiy shiners, well lets just say I won't be in a beauty pagent anytime soon.
This past week I found with the use of a pillow for support I can sleep on my right side. The left side still is a no go because I can't get pressure on my leg even with a pillow. I woke with a start Wednesday after sleeping soundly for a good four hours! Oh my gosh, that just shows how exhausted I really am. Being able to sleep on my side again just makes things right. I can't do the allergy shuffle just yet but I'm sure it won't be long now. I am just so happy to be able to be sleeping on my side again. What a blessing to get back into my normal sleeping habit!
