Insomnia

Last night I did not sleep. I kept waking up because I was getting this cramping feeling in my calves. My toes kept jumping upward. I realized at 4am that maybe my first week back to work was tougher on my legs than I had thought. I sat on the bed, in the dark, and massaged the muscles along my shin. I could feel the the facial hernia's that come from the muscle bulging outward. The incisions are still sore.

I got home tonite and found that my lower legs were swollen. Maybe not like the elephant man, but I could tell the difference. Tomorrow, I will shop for some compression stockings. I guess 10 hours on my feet and 4 of those hours driving is too much for my healing legs.... It was still worth it!!!! I am so glad to be back at work.....
