@contentandwell Good morning. I ended up taking my daughter to after hours last night for her foot. She doesn't have a fracture and the nurse practitioner thinks it is a tendon issue. She won't be practicing or playing in games for a week to see if that helps.
This morning my wife asked about the counseling so I will be picking her up to go. I'm not sure what will happen at this point but at least she will be going. I really wish she hadn't put up so much of a fight about going nearly two months ago. I don't know if it would have made a difference though.
Just got notice that my boss got fired. He's a nice guy but hasn't been doing a great job and has upset a lot of people. Still, I had thought things were going better but I guess not.
I got about six hours of sleep last night. Woke up at 4:00 but got back to sleep until 6:00. Took melatonin and diphenhydramine last night. Only things that seem to help at this point. I know I can't keep using the diphenhyrdamine since it really isn't good for me so I will see what my doctor says tomorrow. At least I feel better today after getting some sleep.

@mandrake70. Oh, no! Your daughter must be crushed that she has to sit out practicing and games. That type of thing is so important to teens especially, and I am sure that gave her a break from her other problems.
I’m glad that your wife is on board with counseling. I hope it proves to be a positive experience and that things can get less muddled so you and your wife decide the best path forward. Does the firing of your boss have much effect on you? Hopefully the replacement will be good.
It sounds as if you got a decent amount of sleep last night. Diphenhydramine helps me a lot too but like you I do not like to take it frequently. I find that even half of one tablet helps. A very long time ago I had a prescription for some sleeping pill but I hated them, I felt like a slug the next morning. My best aid is lorazepam but that too is not something that I would take frequently, only when I’m desperate.
