I actually slept fairly well last night from 8:45pm to 3:30am, then up for a couple hours, then back to sleep and awakened violently by a 7am alarm. Need to make sure my phone is within easy reach in future so my arms don’t do currently uncomfortable things when it goes off. My Girlfriend was … Read more
I slept well in bed until around 2am and then I found I couldn’t easily get back to sleep. I just couldn’t find a restful position after that so headed back to the recliner by 4am. My weight was also up slightly over 2 pounds in 2 days. This is something I was instructed to … Read more
I woke up a bunch of times during the night and eventually stayed up for a while at 3am. I was hungry and finished up with The Good Place. Very nice ending to season 1. Not at all expected and I would be equally happy with it stopping there or trying to continue. That was … Read more
I had pretty weird sleep. I went to bed really tired at 8:30pm then woke up at 10:30pm, went to the bathroom then back to sleep till 2am then awake. I watched what I thought were the final two episodes of The Good Place, waiting for the twist ending, and found there were actually 13 … Read more

I woke up feeling better than the day before. I’m still waking up multiple times through the night but I’m eventually getting enough sleep and since I mostly sit around resting during the day, I’m not using a lot of energy. I was promised that there would be regular days that didn’t feel as good … Read more
This was the first day where I didn’t feel better than the day before. I didn’t feel a lot worse, just sort of blah and uncomfortable. I started my timed walks since I figured I was used to the baseline of walking around the house for routine things. I did 5 minutes walking back and … Read more
I found I wasn’t very tired during the day which was nice. I had napped some during each day so far and this was the first day I didn’t feel like I needed that. I also felt more used to getting around the house. It didn’t feel as exhausting. Both professionally and as a hobby … Read more
From my past hospital experience and from the regular questions of the nursing staff, I knew the thing that could ultimately hold up my hospital release was whether I had a bowel movement yet.
