I had been going to bed at around 9pm until recently. I have been going to bed at around 10:30 or 11 here the last few nights. As far as quality sleep goes, well, thats a different story. I am hooked up to a pump at night and I wake up around every 2 hours to use the bathroom. I am trying to get to the place where I am eating more during the day where I wont have to use the pump at night. As far as not wanting to get up before noon that is far from the truth. I know in order to go back to work that I have to get up when its time to go to work. I tell myself everyday that I need to get up but I just lay there. I do feel like its because Im not sleeping well at night. I feel like this is what is holding me back from going back to work. I know it will be real tough to start with but it should get easier with time. I dont think 1/2 days would be an option with what I do(drive a truck) but I will ask. I have a call in to my dispatcher and should hear from him tomorrow and that is one question that I will ask him as soon as I hear from him. I dont want to overdo it either and end up worse than I am now but we are about to the point with our finances that we have to do something real quick.

As always Amy, I appreciate you concern and desire to help. Any suggestions would be appreciated as always Grandma...LOL
