For some reason, I have been getting phantom pain off and on for the last three days and nights. I have also had swelling and pain in my foot. Fortunately, I had a review with my team yesterday. There is nothing terribly wrong with my foot at present, so I don't need a cast, which I feared. I could get some narcotics for the phantom pain, but I don't want to do that. I am already taking neurotin. I end up invariobly being awake from around 2:00 a. to 4:00 a. every night and I can't nap during the day because of the damn pain! I am not exercising because of the pain and because I am tired. It seems a little calmer today, so I may be able to do some things tomorrow.
I hate when I get like this because I can't deal with frustrations and I have to be careful not to bite off the heads of people I am dealing with. I am especially trying not to do this to my wife. She is working very hard right now and has a lot of pressure on her. She is not happy with me because she feels like I brought this on us. I don't want to make things worse.
My blood sugar is labile from the sleep and the stress and is tending to crash right now. Blleehhh!
