Long Nights

For about a week I have had difficulty sleeping. There has been discomfort in my lower back and/or abdomen which makes it difficult to relax and sleep. This is combined with a cold and congestion creating a cough and difficulty breathing through my nose. These are minor complaints, of course, unless one has recently undergone a few medical procedures in that region of the body. Today I will call the doctor, but the question is, which doctor? The urologist who did the gold marker implants, or the radiation therapist whose staff did the prep for radiation therapy? Perhaps I shall call both and let them sort out the problem. I mention this on the blog, not to complain, but to be candid about occasional discomfort. Physical pain has generally been a positive thing in my life. It usually is symptomatic of something that needs attention. So I am treating this as a simple attention getting device and am interested to see if someone can give an explanation for it.
