Cheesy Sleep and Health Updates
I have been feeling a bit better lately. Went to a GI specialist last week who gave me proton-pump-inhibitors. Apparently, these can provide false THC screens. Where was this medication when I was young and actually needed a good excuse to fail a drug test?
Anyhow, the medication seems to be helping. Less vomiting, higher ability to eat. I'm taking less anti-naseau meds. I still have to undergo a battery of diagnostic tests, but was clear with the doctor that all of that had to wait until after trial. I'm not losing this job just to stay alive.
But I have been having the worst time sleeping lately, having really vivid dreams:
Wednesday:
Library with Daughter. (I recently had my library privileges reinstated). We are looking at books and having a great time when the librarian comes over the loudspeaker. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are being robbed. Put your hands on your head, lay on the floor, and they promise not to harm anyone."
I noticed I was near an emergency exit. I knew it would go off when I went through it, risking the lives of many others. I decided it was more important to save myself and Daughter. In fairness, I also grabbed another child that was nearby. Went straight through the door, knowing damn well people might die for it
And I thought I was a utilitarian.
Thursday:
Last night was a series of dreams taunting my inability to sleep. I have been so tired from not being able to sleep that all I wanted when I went to bed last night was to sleep the whole way through. I know I woke up at least a couple of times for real, but there may have been more. In the dreams I was having last night, I kept waking up from sleep, I have no idea what was real waking up and what was dream waking up. Although the one where I was working next to Zach Braff and the rest of the folks on Scrubs, and got into trouble with my attending for being asleep... that one was probably dream waking up. And the one where Teri Hatcher got mad when I accidently woke up and watered her lawn on Wisteria Lane, that was probably a dream too.
I watch too much TV.
Just so Ann knows, there was no cheese consumed prior to bed time. Is there a back-up theory?

Gosh, who know what darkness lurks in the heart of Ms. Fori. :) too bad you can't just blame it on the cheese.
I find the library dream very interesting - a place that is meant to be very safe is robbed. A good analyst could have a field day with that one, I think.
I do agree, less television watching would be good. I'm also thinking if you're not sleeping very well, you might need to get more exercise. (Counterintuitive, I know, but it always works for me.)
Sweet dreams...I hope.
