Good morning dear family. Today marks 58 DOF. Yesterday was the first day without the patch. I had a hard time going to sleep. Last time I looked at the clock it was 11:30 pm and I was wide awake at 230am and couldn't go back to sleep. My body refuses to take naps so I am gonna have to fight extra hard. The nicotene is leaving my body 100 per cent and I know that I am going to have cravings like crazy but i will fight through them. I think i am also nervous about my surgery Thursday. If this doesn't work there are no more options for me. I just have to live with chronic pain the rest of my life. Oh well it is what it is, the serenity prayer.
Got 3 days to get everything at house all straight because I know I will be put on restriction for a few days. I am good at listening to doctors instructions. I have been told by many they thought I had been in the army.
I hope everyone has a great labor day and God bless
Carolyn and Cookie
