SLEEPING


The days pass so fast now.  Often friends say their days crawl along.  Mine don’t.  Often I sleep.  Was it Monday or Tuesday I slept on and off all day…then not at all during the night?  I have a care nurse who says it might be a combination of any two drugs I am taking.  The new chemo alectinib does effect blood pressure.  Mine is now a tidy 119/72. 

I’m not getting the quilt done.  Instead, I pick up a book and nod off. 

Today-Thursday, at ten my case nurse to update everything.

            At two a blood draw to see if my kidneys are still working.

 Friday at 9, the dentist.  He’s going to open it all up and see if it “took.”

 Saturday: Bobbie is visiting.  We had hoped she could take her quilt home, but that’s not to be.

 Sunday:  Is a Marta day.  We run away from Home and have breakfast on the cliffs or by the bay.  She hasn't had her vaccination yet.  For me it is scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon.  They add sliced tomatoes.

  3. Knowing the cause, I am certainly not jealous of your sleep, but I would like to get more. Yesterday, I told Sue that if she could give me two of her hours, we'd be close to even. This would suit both of us as she would like not to require ten hours.

  4. Your blood pressure is fine. Might ask your Dr if Melatonin might straighten out your days and nights reverse sleeping. Works for me.
