Today I had my PICC line removed from my arm. I was really excited about it because I discovered during this process that I was allergic to the tape they used to secure the PICC line. So now I have this nasty and very itchy rash on my arm. This is one of the reasons I am struggling to sleep tonight. I keep putting cortisone cream on it but it only helps for about a half hour and then it starts itching again.
Another reason I can't sleep is because I know I am going to have to get up to take meds at 4am so why even fall asleep just to get woken up? I am trying to get myself back on a sleep schedule since I am going back to work Monday, but I have a feeling that I am going to be tired no matter what. I only have to wake up for those meds for three months and then after that I won't have to take them. The only reason I have to take them is because of an ulcer I got after surgery. Did I mention that sometimes surgery sucks? It isn't always perfect. I had high hopes for my surgery and I was let down by setbacks one after another. I am ready though to get back to life and weight loss. Just two more months and a normal sleep schedule...sigh.
