Goal For The Day

My goal today was not to sleep. Especially since I slept about 16 hours the night before. Woke up a few times, but fell right back to sleep. I think my body is just trying to heal itself. My surgical wound did feel better today. Still not touch worthy!

I also don't want to sleep if I am actually "wanting" to. Does that make any sense? If I'm wanting to because of my depression, because I no longer want to sleep and I am just wanting to avoid the things I need to deal with, then I do not want to sleep.:confused:
 
If you have had surgery then you must let yourself sleep as much as possible Britt.

I think your awareness of avoidance sleeping is admirable, but not applicable until you have recovered from your surgery.

I had surgery on Wednesday to replace my ICD. Definitely been sleeping a great deal the first few days afterwards. I just want to make sure that is why I'm sleeping instead of for avoidance. Thank you Ms. Spock for reminding me of how the body needs that to heal. I'm sure it is helping.
