Time to bed:  11:20 and fell asleep immediately.

Time awoke with muscle spasms: 12:30.

Time finally fell back to sleep after taking several measures, including finally putting slipper on over cast to further immobilize foot:  Approximately 3:30.

Time finally woke up for good:  9:30.

So I managed to cobble together about 7 hours of sleep and am hoping to do even better tonight.  After all, I do have a long week of work to deal with.  I'm going to sleep with the slipper on again, or maybe even an athletic shoe, because the more my foot is forced to stay in place the less the spasms bother me.  I think in any case I'll be calling my neurologist tomorrow to see if there are any other measures I should be taking.  I'd like to avoid taking the maximum dose of my muscle relaxant, because my regular prescribed dose is 4 mg per night and I've been taking 6 mg and don't want to run out before my next fill date.

My foot is still very sore, so this will be another sedentary day for me.  I've got quiet stuff I can do on the computer, and small house chores that involve standing in one place (which doesn't hurt as much) or sitting.  This is going to get better, I swear it is.  Baby steps, as I like to say.

And now...brunch.
