Insomnia in PARIS
Insomnia in Paris .... oh dang, it snuck up on me. I can't make a blanket, onesies, or burp cloths. I can't read my scriptures in another room, so I'll sit on the toilet with the lid down and blog. My heart really is full, I am so grateful for my husband and the efforts he went to make this trip happen. I walk around this beautiful city most of the time either with a smile on my face that will not go away or with huge tears in my eyes in dis-belief that I am actually here with the most romantic and thoughtful man in the world. I don't want to slow him down, he is so excited to show me every square mile of this remarkable place where he served his mission so many years ago. My neuropathy is really bad and I am in constant pain, to top it off I forgot my neuropathy meds and I am trying to control the pain with something else, it takes the edge off but by the time we get back to our hotel at night I can hardly walk. I need Tamy ... my personal nurse ... and sweet friend for advice. Tomorrow Eric said we are going to take the train a lot so that will help, I think we walked about 15 miles today, if it were a year ago and I was in better health that would be nothing, but I have to remember my new way of life is slower paced (for now anyway) and that its ok to take some breaks and sit when I need to. Since I've known Eric he has always been about 15-20 steps ahead of us all, at disneyland the kids and I laughed because we were always afraid he wass the one who was going to get lost. My anxiety levels are high, I am excited and really don't want to miss anything but I know if I can't sleep it will be bad tomorrow, the fear of not being able to sleep is harder than ectually trying to sleep...does that make any sense? This morning I am praying the Lord will help me get the much needed sleep I need.
