I hurt like hell, but my sleep was almost magnificent.
It should not surprise me so much that I got such a lovely sleep last night. But this is the first brand new bed I've slept on since... childhood, I think. Undoubtedly the most comfortable. I wasn't completely prepared for how good it felt. I didn't toss or turn, and I didn't wake up as often as I normally would. I can't say anything about pain or soreness, but I can say that I slept better than I'd slept in years, so it is a start. I woke up without massive grogginess or wanting to scream. That's what I had wanted out of this. The pillowtop is foam and it does feel like sinking into a cloud or some such, so Adam and I believe that after a few weeks or months, it may legitimately help our back pain. The cats seem to love the bed too.
I've been experiencing standard fibro fatigue not related to poor sleep, so I am dealing with that. Adam has the weekend off, and he is on the PlayStation currently, having his own fun. I've finished Brom's "The Child Thief" and Charlaine Harris' "Dead In The Family" and am now reading Jim Butcher's "Changes." Writing my own book, not even touching editing, promise.
This has now turned into a full-fledged fibromyalgia flare. Treating it now. Ow.
