It is 4:50 a.m. and I have not been to bed yet. This is not atypical for me. It is very difficult to sleep while pain invades your body. The burn running through my veins, the throbbing of pure pain; this is why I cannot sleep. I should have taken a sleeping pill, but I do not like to take medicine-even though I have to. I am up to at least 15 prescriptions, probably more. My eyes are heavy, thoughts sporadic. I just want to go to sleep 🙏🏽
