Hi Tracy,

Yes I can't even fall asleep without Ambion even though I feel very tired.  I do listen to my ipod and that does help relax me but I cannot fall back to sleep.  I take the Ambion about 11pm, fall asleep about 30 minutes later and wake up between 3:30 and 4:00, its frustrating.  Yes I do sleep on my AN side, I'm trying not to but I am always there when I wake up.

Stitches come out today so I will ask the Dr. again, I am sure he will tell me again that the steriods have to get out of my system.  I wonder how long it takes, I have been off them for 2 weeks.

Anyway I am improving everyday and am looking forward to driving this week  ;D
