I am so sorry to hear this Carol. I know what it's like to lose a dear friend. I trust your memories of times shared with your friend will give you strength to sustain you through your grief & sorrow. You are in my thoughts hun, take care xNot a great night. Went to bed with tears in my heart as I lost my friend unexpectedly yesterday. Woke at 0330, feeling sick,frozen and pain in ribs. Cosied in with extra fleece so managed to sleep but woke to a huge sorry for my friends family. Sorry to share my miseries
I'm sorry Dave, I've only just seen this. Yes life deffinitly sucks, it deals unexpected blows when we least expect them. My thoughts are with your sister & her partner, yourself and family. Take care.You must have thought a great deal of your friend Carol and the shock of an unexpected death is all the more painful. Waking up after sleep and the sudden realization of the death someone close hits home for a second time.
My sister has just informed me that her husband is now in palliative care and is on 24 hour oxygen. Didn't expect that one. Life can be c**p sometimes.
I totally empathise with you for not having enough sleep grainger. I dont know about you but I simply can't function without sleep. I hazard a guess its something to do with the 3hr-4hourly feeds?! It takes me back to when my two were babies, I hardly slept for the first three/four months. Try to get as much sleep/rest as you can between feeds as you need to keep up your reserves to cope with the demands of your newly born babe, bless him. Take care hun. xI’m going to go with “not enough” for tonight!
Lucky you! You had 3/4 hour more sleep than I did!!! Yawns!Yay! I managed 2 hours of, admittedly light, sleep last night. So, I’ll be back to my normal pattern tomorrow?
I sympathise with all who are not getting enough sleep. I’ve had disturbed sleep for years because of apnoea, caused by a repaired, once before I was one, cleft pallete at birth, that pulled my nose down on one side. I kept waking up every 2/3 hours & thought it was normal until my GP once asked me how I was sleeping. Had a nose job in the mid 90’s to remove cartilage from the inside to open up the airway. And was finally able to sleep the night through AND no more nose bleeds everyday when I had a cold: blocked nose!
I thought I’d written that eggy! Mirrors my experience even with the shoulder pain except I’m past the menopausal stage and mine is due to ‘burning blood syndrome’ caused by errant cytokine activity with the leukaemia. I was tempted to take an ice cold shower at 3am.
I’m also up and down to the loo and my brain always insists on having torturous conversations with me during the night. Oh and dreadful cramp every night.
I usually end up having my best sleep when it’s time I should be up! 🙄
Thanks Vince, much appreciated.So sorry to hear that @Davein
In my thoughts
I hope you will at some point update your avatar. I'm sure many of us would appreciate a picture of the young one included @grainger that's if you're not too busy sleeping🙂I’m going to go with “not enough” for tonight!
