March 16 Condition Update

Today was a better day. I feel like the fatigue is finally starting to abate. Yea, I was tired, but it didn’t seem to be that bone-numbing tiredness that has plagued me for the last few days.

The good news is I sleep pretty well at night. Readers may remember that when this whole adventure started I frequently described how much back pain I experienced. It really hammered my sleep patterns. The Depraved Brain even sent me some wedge pillows (greatly appreciated) that helped when I could not find a comfortable position in which to sleep.

My back pain was gradually subsided. I still experience some from time to time, but not when I’m in bed – and it does nothing to prohibit my sleep. The last couple of days I have started sleeping on my left side again. Throughout much of my adventure, I have been limited to only sleeping on my right side. The last few weeks I have gradually been able to also sleep on my back. Now I can really sleep on my left side. There is still a tiny amount of discomfort in my left rib cage, but it doesn’t stop me from sleeping.

It helps that I now can sleep in almost any position – although I haven’t yet mastered sleeping on my head. I’m still looking forward to the weekend to catch some more shuteye.

Goodnight.
