Last night, we went to bed at 1 am. Well, I went to bed and he turned off tv and his light. I got up at 11:48 am. This much sleep is unheard of for me unless I am ill or have not slept in several nights.
The difference? I slept with Rod Stewart! Yes, I did!
I cannot sleep with any noise going on. No music, no TV, nothing, no talking of others. However, I am very respectful of other people sleeping and will be silent for another who is sleeping.
I listened to the new cd I ordered on my new boombox I order a few weeks ago--Rod Stewart "It Had to Be You" The Great American Songbook 2002.
That particular cd is designated No.1. I had a copy of No. 2 that a guy copied for me. I never got No.3. I tried sleeping to No.2, but it does not work--too many horns. Maybe I will get No. 2 someday. Maybe Santa will bring it to me...lol.
The doctor refuses to give me valium and the stuff she tries to give me will make me dizzy so I will fall down on the way to the bathroom at night. When I went to the bathroom last night, I just pressed the button when I got back in bed and fell asleep before the third song started.
So, it was money well-spent. Now, I can think this morning. By the way, valium does not make me fuzzy-headed like other sleep meds. I took my first valium when I was 21 and not again for a few months. Then, not for a few years. The ONLY thing I used them for was to go to sleep. And, my doctor believed me how little I used valium. So, there. And, I have six valium left from a presciption in 2014.
If you have a criticism, bring it on. Just don't expect me to publish it...lol. Or, care.
Maybe I am just happy that and relaxed that Biden is president.

Clue one...HERE
I used to have the best pain specialist and his nurse practitioner was kind and wonderful just as he was. All of a sudden I discovered my pain management doctor had retired and his nurse practitioner had gone to a different doctor's office too many miles away. I asked if I could get a partial refill on the medicine I was prescribed by my past doctor from the doctor or nurse practitioner who work there now until I could get an appointment to come in. Hells Bells! You would have thought I was asking to buy their children. The person I spoke to on the phone was so rude, and basically read me the riot act, and finished off by saying I had been a noncompliant patient, because I had not come in every three months to be checked while taking that medicine. I started to tell the beeatch that the nurse practitioner had told me I only needed to come in once a year unless I was having problems with my neck and needed steroid injections.. (I usually ended up there more than once a year with neck and shoulder pain from pinched nerves stemming from degenerative disc disease anyway.) That person on the phone was so rude to me, I won't go to the new doctor there, but will need to get my records from them. That should be interesting. It seemed to me that that new doctor is going to be a money grabber.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I asked my Primary care doctor about the medicine, and if he could prescribe it for me. He said "Yes, that shouldn't be a problem." The thing is, I will still need to find a pain management doctor who does the steroid trigger point injections for days when I cant move either my neck, or sometimes my shoulder and upper arm. It's always something isn't it. I have now had two wonderful doctors who I had been going to for years, retire this year. I had the same asthma doctor since I was 21 years old and I am 66 now that he has retired. My Primary care doctor inherited my Asthma Doctor's job, too, now. It's always something with doctors and prescriptions, isn't it.
I have been sent to a pain doctor three times and three different doctors. Every time I called, I was treated as though I was asking for heavy drugs. Oh, the reason I called was to get the initial appointment. The receptionists were so rude and accusatory. I have only had one appointment with a pain doctor, and it ended badly. The med he gave me made me pass out! I decided to endure pain. It is difficult to endure. I think in forty years I have only had to have a cortisone injection four times, each time in a different joint. The spine doctor want to put an injection in my lower spine, but NO. I hate it when good doctors retire!
DeleteI'm glad you got such a lot of sleep. It's the great healer isn't it. And good on you for sleeping with Rod Stewart. You rock!
ReplyDeleteTreaders,
DeleteI hope it works from now on like it has in the past. I would like to rock with Stewart!
I love Rod Stewart but I've only heard some of those songs (I call them torch songs) on television. He is a great, soulful singer and also good looking imho.
ReplyDeleteI was familiar with all the songs on all three songbook, but that is probably because we are different ages (think I am older) and I am in the US. I loved him as a rocker, too. He has such a great voice.
DeleteGlad you can sleep now. I'll admit I'm a bit confused to your contest.
ReplyDeleteSAM,
DeleteI, too, am glad I can sleep. The contest is simple. Guess what I am preparing for a charitable contribution.
You slept with Mr. Stewart? There goes your good Henley St. Name.
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteIt will just have to be tarnished.
