Yes, I am averaging waking at least 3-4 times a night, I am sleeping maybe 3-4 hours each night. I am getting tired, and that does not help. You said you feel okay this morning? Did you call your dr? Are you able to eat anything? I guess these are stupid questions, but I am not as smart as you, seems like you lnow pretty much! The last 3 nights I am having more trouble getting to sleep, I leave the tv on in my bedroom, and when I wake up I just turn it off. I feel so bad, my husband has a cold and I hear EVERYTHING, and I have alot of trouble sleeping anyway, so he has been on the sofa so i can sleep. I was up before him, and he laughed because when he asked me what woke me up, I told him the water running in the shower, my son was in there getting ready to go to work. But I do not hear an alarm, Go figure! Chris please let me know how you are feeling, you helped me so much when we were going through suregry, I had laparotomy Sept 29th, and wasnt yours the 22nd. You have been feeling pretty decenttil last night? Please keep me informed, but I am wakened almost everynight, but not as bad the las t 3 nights, I dont know! Toni
