I read the clock from my bed. It was 3:22 in the wee hours, and I couldn’t sleep. The surgery site felt like there were 1,000 ants crawling on it. My nose had been itchy the day before. The only relief I had was pushing the area around it. There was no way I was going back to sleep, so I decided to take a shower and let warm water flow over my face. Instant relief!! This could have been done the morning before, but I had been in a rush to get ready for the day. Now writing seems to provide the necessary distraction. Thank you for enduring this with me.
As I walked to the desk, I saw a glow outside and stepped onto the front porch. What a beautiful sight! The photo isn’t good, but it gives you an idea of what I saw.

The sleeping problem was just for one night. Normally nothing wakes me up.

Watching the dawn is inspiring. I wish I did it more often. Sorry about the itching. I don’t remember that part but maybe mine didn’t itch.

Yes, I went back to sleep for a couple of hours, then I rushed to be ready when neighbor Joyce came to pick up her plants. As soon as she left, Lise and I rushed to meet David for lunch.

How awful to have such pain on your face when there is not anything that can really be done. I am glad the shower helped.
