Got in to see my doctor pretty quick this morning. 193 lbs. BP was 112/72. We're going to run tests for sleep apnea. It sounds like I have it. It explains a lot. Night terrors about breathing. Constipation. Somnolence. Snoring. Waking up a lot. Low energy. I might have to wear a mask when sleeping. He had trouble putting it together, until I reminded him of the night terrors. He still had trouble putting it together. Good thing I like him.  I am pretty much the same way at night. My dentist wanted me to do a sleep study and likely start using one of those masks. I politely declined. Been a heavy snorer since birth, basically (as is my entire family). I’m up every couple of hours due to the loss of my prostate and need to urinate. I have bad dreams and have woken myself up screaming and / or seeing dark figures passing thru my bedroom. But there’s NO WAY I’d ever be comfortable wearing anything on my face & mouth and getting into a “deep” state of sleep would likely result in daily change of sheets and a ruined mattress. I have been told my “uneven” breathing, which includes periods of not breathing at all, could result in dying in my sleep. As opposed to disease, organ failures, war / nuclear strikes, auto / motorcycle accidents, falls or other injuries - I think I’d go with sleep. GO DODGERS!!! |

I told Doc about having dreams of not being able to breathe. Feeling constricted. No speech. Knowing I'm asleep, but unable to wake up. He called them "night terrors." Today all the blood tests came back normal, except my thyroid. He started ticking off the things that could result from that. Constipation, somnolence, snoring, waking up a lot, low energy, weight gain. The only thing I DON'T have is weight gain. Might this have something to do with these night terrors? Maybe I really was having trouble breathing. "Possible." Zoinks! Knucklehead... He said it's okay to go back to the gym. But you said not to. The brain hemorrhage. I don't know what to make of this guy. You should see someone about those hallucinations. I took antidepressants for a while after Tessa ran away. Wow! One morning Mom was whispering in my ear. Problem was she was 500 miles away. In a dream state, I could have sworn my late brother walked past. I followed 'him' into the bathroom, afraid to turn the lights on because he would leave. "Dave? Dave?" I reached out, trying to find him. Finally, I turned the light on. I made him go away! I'm so sorry!! This shit is powerful. I took it maybe two years & got over the loss. Learned to cope, anyway. Mom had emphysema. I would rather get my head blown off than suffocate. |

I can’t begin to count the number of things / objects that have disappeared for days or even weeks at a time only to turn back up exactly where they were. And both cats are constantly seeing things that “aren’t there” and from dead sleeps will jump / stand up on their two rear legs looking in the direction of whatever is there, ears twitching the entire time. Di calls him Fred. GO DODGERS!!! |

Forever the pessimist. Gave up on Lum's stereo. I'll keep it for AM radio. Dodger games. Got a new stereo. It plays albums, CD's & cassettes. I stepped on an old Al Green CD hooking it up. It would cost about 10 bucks to replace the CD. I found some medication for Sleet that would have cost over 20 dollars. Naturally, I'm blaming myself for stepping on the CD. Oy! This is just who I am. |

Stuck at the bank. Best Buy is trying some weird shit. I don't owe them any money. They insist I do. I told them to tell me what it's for or shut up. This is harassment. They sent a letter saying they would leave me alone. It's been turned over to this bank. Fees & interest will continue to accrue.
Hmmm...
