Very little sleep again. Exhausted. In pain.

Seeing my care manager today for some last-minute support before the stress of xmas day and then my son going away for five days. Keep telling myself it's only five days and he's been away for longer and i got through it, but being home alone with this injury feels more difficult as i can't go anywhere or do anything much to pass the time - and it's a bit frightening given the risk of fainting from the nerve compression.

At least it's only five days this time - his next holiday in mid-late January will be TEN days. Might need to think seriously about respite care during some of that one.
