NERVOUS, WORRIED, UP AT NIGHT-edit in red

Once again I am awake in the middle of the night. I don’t know what wakes me. I didn’t have coffee last night. My body doesn’t hurt. All of a sudden I am just UP!
I am nervous about my colonoscopy and the results. I remember the doctor starting. Then I think I remember him saying he took out five polyps and everything is ok but is it? It seems like the whole thing just took a few minutes but did it? Did I fall asleep during the procedure?
 I didn’t think I did but maybe just maybe I did. They said they would call me if anything is wrong. I made a follow up appointment for November 14. I couldn’t get anything before. Their cancellations list is long. So we are planning to leave for Florida at the beginning of November. We have an appointment with our GP in October. We hope she will be able to look at the results. Actually I would be happy to stay until the 14th. Then I could also stay until the Bar Mitzvah in Toronto on December 1 and then drive to Florida. Even though I love being there I could go later. I don’t think hubby would like this. For me it would mean that I don’t have to come back to Toronto in December.
So once again until I know for sure I will be anxious. OY!
I am still working on my son’s scrapbook. I am having trouble with our printer. I have to buy one of those small printers that just print pictures. I had one years ago but it broke. Hubby always buys ones that are too complicated.
My daughter is planning to come on Friday. I would like to just stay home. However it is a long weekend and hubby wants to play golf on Saturday. My daughter would like to go to the trailer for the day on Sunday. She would like us to be home on Friday and go up on Saturday. OY!!!!!!!!
 I guess that’s why I’m up. Too much on my mind. I think I should just tell both of them that either I am going up for the weekend or staying home. I also want to play Canasta on Monday……………..
I wrote my son and DIL that I want to buy them tickets for Mary Poppins. It’s in November so I won’t be here although maybe I will and that would be one more reason to stay home until December. I would like them to take the children. My life is too complicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I am to blame. I should make up my mind and stick to it. Hubby and I are on different wave lengths. I think about everyone else and try to make them happy. Hubby mostly thinks of himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am trying to watch TV but the one channel I like on the kitchen TV has no sound. Explain that to me!
I guess I should stop whining and complaining and go to bed.
I don’t think I mentioned that my old computer seems to have died. It just won’t open. I must call APPLE tomorrow. I guess I bought this new one just in time.
So until tomorrow have a peaceful night sleep.
I also get these aches in my head. Do I mention them to my neurologist??????????????? They just come and go. Most of the time I am ok. I do have a pain in the neck and my doctor took X-rays a few months ago. OY VEY!

i’m w/you on all of a sudden being awake. I think it has to do w/what i have on my mind. I hate waking up at 2 AM, tossing and turning, only to fall into a deep sleep around 4 and then 4:30 Jeff’s alarm goes off! Hope you are able to get back to sleep.

I’m so sorry you’re having problems sleeping! A little trick I use when my mind is busy is to lie quietly letting all the thoughts go through my mind. I don’t let my mind settle on one, if you know what I mean. I just sort of picture them flowing across the back of my eyes. At first, it’s like a loop going around my brain, but as the same thoughts keep returning, I gently picture them flowingfrom one side of my brain and then out the ear on the other side of my head. It’s a vision technique that works for me.

Try valerian herb before bed, it is good to help you relax and doesn’t knock you out. You have hit on what I know to be true for a long time, men take care of number one (themselves) first and woman always worry about everyone else first. Put yourself first from now on. I learned this too late to save myself, hope you can save yourself.

Now that I’m pregnant, whenever I get a medical test, I get nervous until the results come in, too.

Do mention the aches in your head. May not be anything but you never know for sure until it is checked out. Hope you got a good nights rest. Love,

Headaches can be caused by dehydration. Do you drink enough water throughout the day? (Coffee and soda don’t count as water, though a lot of people seem to think they do cuz they are liquid!!) I’m sure your colonoscopy was fine, cuz if they found five polyps they removed them. I think that people are always asleep (under general anesthesia) during colonoscopies nowadays. So it does seem like it only takes a few seconds, cuz first you fall asleep and then when you wake up you are in the recovery room! When I had mine, it was the first time I’d been “put out” for anything. It was amazing, to me, how that worked. hugs, Nicky

RYN: Thank you, I feel much better today.
