late nights and early mornings.

Today is Tuesday currently the time is 7:30 a.m.  I am still "hanging" out in the hospital 5 days after surgery.  I am disconnected from IV's and Epidural and doing o.k. on oral Pain meds.  I am still waiting for the "movement"  everyone talks about on this floor.  Once that happens I'll be running for the doors.  Per the late night I decided to watch a show of mine a little later last night.  I turned in around 11:00 sometime expecting a promised full night of rest.  Unfortunately my nurses were not any better at predicting the future than I am.  promptly at midnight another nurse barged in turned on the lights and staged the other half of my room and kept looking at it light she was going to win an award for her arrangement.  She told me the floor was full and I was getting a roommate.  After about 20 minutes of "staging" she left.  at 1:00 the Admission arrived.  By the time he and His wife settled in and all their information was gathered it was likely close to 2:00 a.m.
After getting back to sleep again, his Lab draw bounded in the room and turned on all the lights at 3:00 am.

I was lucky I guess because the next time I saw anybody was 6:00 am for another Blood draw for him.  Nothing for me today.  "Yay".  Needless to say I am wide awake but very tired today after not sleeping a whole lot. 

Last night when my nurse was in at 9:00 p.m. she said if I was awake in the middle of the night I should go for a walk.  I don't think I have ever done this before in my life but last night I ended up taking two walks in the middle of the night.  My nurse must have been on break both times since she said she didn't see me either time.

I would really appreciate prayers that I have a considerable movement today to send me home with confidence of everything working properly.
