Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Stressy!! 
Is that the OH? xxx
Decided To save some coast pics for when there is not so much competition from beautiful photography nevermind the subjects 
Cheers
Thanks so much, Julie 
She's truly horrible and that's why I avoided seeing her for years, but OH's stroke and then cancer made it unavoidable, unfortunately. She knows exactly how I feel as I've told her on several occasions, but she likes to use her selective memory to her advantage. My near photographic recall stops her in her tracks - then she does something else to upset the apple cart. OH and me are ok again now.
Aw Julie I hope your room does have a window. Could you feign agoraphobia or something and tell them you're prone to the screaming abdabs if confined to a box? Hopefully you'll get a room with a view sweetheart xxx
On the plus side a month isn't enough to secure a job in the library 
You sure about the no windows thing? For an extended stay?
This may be rubbing it in, but my surgery happened so fast I didn't get time to think about the ward situation so took very little with me. As it happened those considered to need the most attention as they were tube fed etc were in a communal ward and I had my own room ... err it was enormous with own loo etc.
You could have had 6 beds in there though admittedly probably not with all the wall mounted kit they come with these days. I kept thinking that if I had known I could have brought all sorts of craft stuff.
Hospital was in next city and I only told one pal of my admission so I had no visitors.
Luckily I wasn't confined so I prowled the hospital, building up distance with plonk down and recover spots till I got to the public food outlets area where I sat and wrote letters then crawled back.
Now I have images of you sat on floor and constantly bouncing a baseball off the wall and upending your bed so you can hang off it and do chin ups
Cheers
Brilliant! Write a book, Shimmer xxx
Oh Lol, you did make me laugh. I had thought about taking a ball and a baseball glove!! I'd forgotten about the chin-ups though!!
I'm sure it'll be fine. I get a massive dose of chemo the first day so that'll probably knock me out for a bit. By the time I come round, it'll be time to go home!!
Shame about the library though! xxx
Stressy is a pal who among other issues has autism. Ironically they believe they are expert on other people's behaviour and stuff (!) and can't stand other people's stress ... yeah right!
Stressy gets stressed about all sorts, some of it illogical 
Cheers, and no, they don't know they are referred to as Stressy 
️ sounds a great character!️
