I wonder if I'd feel this way every morning if I didn't have this kidney disease. Saturday night and last night I got crap for sleep. Tossing and turning...every position was comfortable yet still I rolled around like a crocodile killing it's pray. Saturday I blame the Nephcure walk...all of that standing around isn't easy on this ol' body. But last night? I have no idea...I'd be lying there...awake...all night.
I wake up every morning to puffy eyes, which makes it hard to see sometimes. I've got a killer headache this morning. It seems like a lot of mornings are like this, so I'm just wondering what I would feel like in the morning if I didn't have FSGS. Would I have more energy? Because whether or not I sleep 7 hours or 12 hours...I'm still tired. Would I get better rest? I'm up at least once if not twice going to the bathroom...an evil side-effect of all of the diuretics.
How I would LOVE to wake up full of energy...normal eyes (and ankles) ready to face the day. I feel as though my work is suffering as I can't maintain any sort of focus lately. Some people are going to think it's because I'm a "short timer" here now...knowing I've only got a couple months left, but that's not it at all. I just can't find the energy or the focus.
I took Izzy swimming yesterday, thinking that SOME sort of physical activity would help me sleep, but not so much. Tonight, if I feel better than I do right now, I'll try to work out more. Maybe Jillian's 30-Day Shred DVD is in order. Pray for me that I don't hyperventilate during it! :)
