My Sleep schedule - aargh!


My sleep schedule is that crazy tic I just can't seem to manage. When I sleep, I usually sleep quite well. I don't have trouble sleeping from caffeine, oh no!, but I do from the 'roids when I am on them (I have come home from IV infusions and dropped right off for a good nap, then stayed awake all night, too.) So the difficulty I am having now must be just due to my biorhythms being heavily established toward the nocturnal. Say Hoo Hoo anyone? I'm a night owl.

For three days in a row, I managed to get up before noon. Yesterday I had to get up "early" because of our lunch being at Noon. The two days before that it was just because I was trying to make this change in my life. So it gets spoiled once again when I came home from lunch and took a nap in my chair, wake up after an appropriate 90 minutes, but go back to sleep because I was cold! I will use any excuse that is convenient, it seems. In the end I finally went to bed at 7 a.m. this morning. That being the case, I should have gotten out of bed at 3 or 3:30p.m. But Noooo, I stay in bed until 6 pm. Fuck.

Well, at least I had a pleasant shower once I got up, and am alert now. I should be able to get some reading done tonight, try to get to bed at a reasonable hour and, like an addict in rehab, try again. Yes, my name is Webster and I am a night owl.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
