Have just spent two sleepless nights on speed. Not having ever been into recreational drugs, alcohol excepted, I’ve never experienced such a weird, wide-awake feeling all night. Apparently it’s all down to the steroids I’m on as part of the anti-sickness regime.
Physically I was comfortable and even rested, but my mind was shooting off all over the place. Luckily, no negative thoughts, just lots of thoughts. At midnight I found myself composing a poem in my mind. It was a theme I’d intended to write on, but having composed the whole thing in my head I felt compelled to get up and type it up while I still remembered it.
Needless to say, Martin got a bit concerned by my absence from the bed and seemed even more concerned when I explained what I’d been doing.
The only upshot of the lack of sleep was feeling a little tired today. But nothing drastic. Phoned my wonderful clinic today and a nurse recommended Nytol, hot milk and a boring book! Sounds good to me. Other than that, I’m doing really well. Popped out for lunch with my very dear friend Dena today. She just happened to have two meetings in the area. How lucky was that? And then blogmeister Mason came over to help me configure my new iphone. I have such a fantastic team of people supporting me!!
Taking this all a day at a time, but so far, another successful day. And hopefully, with a little help from yet more chemicals and some hot milk, I’ll get a bit of sleep tonight and be raring to go tomorrow.
