I have had eight nights sleeping with my Tempur-pedic bed! With that being said, I was robbed of two nights of sound asleep. It’s been the last two nights. I have said before that I can handle internal pain because I’ve been handling that for 21+ years but external pain it’s a whole different story!
My legs robbed me of my sleep I have just figured out. Yesterday and this morning, I was awakened earlier than I wanted to be because my legs were KILLING me! And let me explain:
A few doctor appointments ago, the doctor asked why I was still wearing shoes with being a Power chair user and having MS for so long. I did not have a response for her but I was offended and I told my Mom that I wear shoes because I am a human and I am a 40-year-old adult!
It was it that doctor appointment that my Mom and I realize that we are the ones to handle my care from here on out! I remember thinking that because I HAVE TO sleep with my compression socks on! My legs can’t handle not having the compression socks off because that messes with blood flow.
Now, enter the problems I’ve been having with my feet!!! You know, blisters on the outside of my left foot and blood blisters on the outside of my right foot because my shoes were not supportive enough! I have rectified that situation now and I’ll talk about my new shoes soon.
So, for the last two days, I have been robbed of sleep and sleep doesn’t come that easy to me after having had MS for 21+ years so that’s quite frustrating! My Mom told me this morning that my blisters were healing enough so I can wear my socks tonight and I am so grateful for Amazon because I was able to get something that hopefully will help while I am asleep:
Oh, have I told you that I am getting pressure sores on my heels?! Well, I am no stranger to pressure sores everywhere but I have not had them on my heels until now and this is quite painful!!!
