Well, I've had my mandatory 45 minutes of sleep. I am exhausted as usual. I luckily have not had another attack like the one Sunday night/Monday morning. I keep trying to look on the bright side, but what is the bright side? I dunno anymore. I guess on the bright side, I still have both kidneys (though it feels like another kidney infection has set in). On the bright side, I can still walk (but feels like I'm crawling). On the bright side I can....
I have to try and get more sleep - attacks or not. I am ready to drop ten shades of color I am so tired. This is where I play a little game called 'catch up'. I'm sure someone remembers me talking about this neat little game before. It is where you stay up for weeks, averaging one or two hours a night, and then your body gets pissed off, and you have to go through a routine of one or two hours sleep - an hour attack, back to sleep an hour or two, another hour attack - and you just keep it going until you've had 6 hoiurs sleep in a 12 hour period. Actually, I did get four hours the night before last, but my body scoffs (which is funny because, usually my body is scoffed at).
Only two attacks since midnight. Lets see what happens when I lie down (as if I don't already know).
peace,
Carl D
