Marian, You are not alone, I do the same thing. I hate to plan anything because I usually have to cancel. At least I am lucky enough to have a family that understands when I have to cancel. There are some people that don't even have that support. I find myself not having any energy even when I just wake up. I think it is because I wake up so many times during the night in pain. I live with my heating pad and ice packs. I use my ice packs and when they are all used up I put on the heating pad. I am not sure what all of the medications are that you are taking but I do know that the morphine injection can make you sleepy. I am so tired of laying in bed too, but there are some days when I feel better and I do take atvantage of those days. I usually over do it but that is okay, I just pay for it the next day or two. Our quality of life is better than a lot of people so I try to think of it like that. Some people can't even walk or talk or think. Keep your faith and we will all get well one day.
