Tuesday, September 8, 2020 – POSTED: Thursday, September 10, 2020 My best night’s sleep so far. I slept 6 hours straight. It was almost 6:00 AM. I tried to go back to sleep but failed.

Monday, September 7, 2020 – POSTED: Wednesday, September 9, 2020 Hurray! I only got up twice in the night, about 1:30 and again about 4:30, if I recall correctly, then I woke up just before 8:00.

Friday, September 4, 2020 – POSTED: Sunday, September 6, 2020 I had a dream that Gwyneth Paltrow was my girlfriend who took me home to her parents after surgery.

Thursday, September 3, 2020 – POSTED: Saturday, September 5, 2020 I woke up 3 times, once after 3 hours and the pad was wet, so I took it out and took my chances with just the disposable underwear.

Wednesday, September 2, 2020 – POSTED: Friday, September 4, 2020 I got up about 4 times last night. I kept getting up to pee. The first few times, I just changed the pad.

Tuesday, September 1, 2020 – POSTED: Thursday, September 3, 2020 I slept soundly from sometime between 10:30 am and 1:30 am. I got up to urinate.
