better sleep
Picked up the new mask yesterday for the cpap. It doesn't hurt at night, which is a huge plus. It's going to take some getting used to, of course. It feels slightly bigger (it's still the smallest size), but I'll get used to it.
Started the routine earlier last night b/c all my attempts to nap have failed over the last few days. I skipped Bible study, which I hate to do as it was the last meeting before summer break. But I wouldn't have gotten much out of it. Sigh.
Bath at 9:30, bed at 10:30, book down at 11:30. Laid in bed for quite some time before sleeping, but refused to pick the book back up or get out of bed. Not sure what time I finally drifted off, but I think it was less than an hour. Maybe 30 minutes.
I was going to sleep in today, but got up on time anyway to help get the kids ready for school. They have End of Grade tests today--first time for my youngest. I wanted to make sure they got off on the right foot with a good breakfast, no yelling, no nagging, etc. All went smoothly and I'm now at work.
Today:
Fatigue: 4
Pain: 8 in the shoulder, 4 elsewhere (Nope, not sure why w/the shoulder)
Fog: 4 so far

I\'m glad you got a new cpap. I hope it is more comfortable than the last one. If you are like me, you get random pain in your body that moves from place to place. So, the fact that your shoulder hurts today is probably that kind of pain. Tomorrow it will probably be somewhere else. Good providence to you, dear.
Thanks, hon! I\'m thinking the same thing about the shoulder pain. I should have taken some aleve for it before going to work, but was too focused on the kids to think about it. :)
Good news about the mask. I always think a therapy that doesn\'t HURT has a leg up on all the others.... yeah, OK, I\'ll give PT a pass on that. :-)
Other than that shoulder, a 4 rating overall sounds like a pretty good day! Hope it is and stays so! Hugs
thanks, Jack! Yep, the day stayed pretty good and the shoulder eventually cooled down.
