Some nights are L—-O—-N—-G….
When the bone marrow pain starts, Olivia can’t sleep. It’s a deep pain. It’s a frustrating pain. She’s constantly adjusting and rubbing her back where the pain typically presents. Over time, it moves to her upper legs. That’s when the leg twitching will start.
I stay up with her and try to rub the pain away. Massages don’t help. Heat doesn’t help. Cold doesn’t help. Nothing helps but time.
She finally drifted off around 4 a.m.
I started drinking coffee and watching news around the same time.
