Day 36 – ALT TEXT

A mattress covered in a gray sheet sitting on top of a black metal frame takes up the majority of the top half of the page.

Every night I sit at the end of the bed and stare at it. It’s my nemesis and my happy horizontal place. I have to psych myself up to get into bed because it hurts. My wrists and my knees. I barely have the strength to get myself up. But i’m doing it. Every night. Some are easier than others. Some I sit for an hour or two just thinking, hoping, wishing I could just get up. And then I do – and then I can rest.

I tried a new way of getting into bed. It was a little scary, but much faster and easier. Faster = less pain. I’m definitely feeling stronger – at a snail’s pace. Will try the new way again, push myself just a little out of my comfort zone daily.
