Day 13 - The Twitching Leg

Going to sleep at night is the hardest. I think it is a combination of me not being used to sleeping on my back and my leg, which gets twitchy. I don't know if it's part of the healing process or if it is because my leg is tired from the walking and rehab exercises I do during the day, but my leg doesn't want to sit still. I drink a beer, pop two Tylenol PM and down two Vicodine, and I still can't get to sleep. What do I got to do to fall asleep? Knock myself out? I finally fall asleep an hour or two later. I wake up in the middle of night and have to pee. Not wanting to take any chances of another pee bottle mishap, I prop myself up and get out of bed and slowly make my way with my walker to the bathroom in the dark. I make it without incident, do my business, and get back in bed.
