Sleep deprived

Less than one minute read time.

Oh for a good night's sleep.

Now I'm past the post-op frequent disturbance to visit the loo, I hoped for better nights. But I'm still either having difficulty getting off to sleep or waking too early.

I keep rehearsing possible scenarios & conversations with my consultant. Having decided (if I have a choice) that I want cystectomy for better prognosis rather than risk BCG failure, I'm worried that he may try to persuade me otherwise.

I guess the medics may feel that the chance of success & avoiding major surgery is worth the risk of progression.

My ipod is my night-time friend to stop my mind wandering!

  • What a difference a night makes - finally had better sleep & feel so much better today.

    Had a bit of a downer yesterday evening. Possibly alcohol or post-anaesthetic induced - I'm sure the affter effects of anaesthesia are complex & overlooked. Felt a bit overwhelmed by it all & a tad lacking in support from friends & family after a rather dull couple of days.

    The sun is shining today & everything seems brighter.
