I haven't exactly been taking it easy like I should be, but I somehow managed to sleep in past 9:30 this morning. Whether or not a nap is in my future today I don't know.

I'm still dealing with neck problems, and battling fatigue, and having trouble with cognitive issues

MS is the reason why I have these cognitive problems in the first place, but medications make things worse, and so does anxiety at times. But fatigue, by far, is the worst aggravating factor. But that's mainly from MS too, so…

I think, I hope, I'm just having a hard time bouncing back from surgery. I don't know how long it will take before things will get better. I can't keep taking 4-5 hour naps every day and have been trying to break the habit, so far to no avail. I won't accept that as my new normal, especially since I'm not exactly 100% when I'm awake.

I was hoping I just had a UTI that was dragging me down, but I dip my own urine because of the retention, and the last time it was negative for nitrites, which usually means it's negative. I had my post-op with my GYN yesterday (everything's fine and I don't have to go back for a year) and she cathed me and sent off a urine sample anyway. It will probably be negative.

Every time I have setbacks like this I want to blame it on something medical, but all the testing comes back normal, and my PCP tells me it's just my MS getting worse (unless there's a new med in play, which there isn't at this time). So I have to find ways to adapt and get used to the changes. I really ****ing hope that I'm just having a hard time recovering from the surgery. My GYN thinks it's a distinct possibility, so I'm a little more encouraged that this may be just temporary.

I'm on a linen-buying bender… sheets, towels, bath mats lol.
Fortunately my husband is happy to have the new stuff, but he may not be too happy when I buy another set of bath mats because I'm not happy with the quality of the first set I bought though. Oh well, TS.

I think I will shower early and pay a visit to that store. Then I will stay put. The laundry can wait until tomorrow.
