It has been 24 days since I last slept longer than 2 hours uninterrupted. Last night as I was driving home from Clarise's house I fell asleep at the wheel long enough to swerve into the rumble strips on 40. I had the AC on high and the window down all the way after that wake up call. That rumble strip could have been another car. .
It is not safe for me to drive. If my body is so damned tired it is falling asleep at the wheel, why won't it stay asleep in the bed?
I called the doctor yesterday afternoon to see if I could get in today (Friday) or Monday, but they said my doctor "is booked until August, will that be OK?" No, I need him now. I already have an appointment on the 25th of July, I need one sooner. "Call back tomorrow at 8am and we can try to fit you in as a same day sick appointment." Does this make sense?
And the pain I am feeling.... It goes from my neck to my tail bone. PT helps, a lot, while I am there, and for the night after, but then it comes searing back. I only lasted from 6:30am to 1pm yesterday at work until I had to leave until the pain was so bad. Not to mention I was passing out for seconds at my desk. I'm a mess. I really hope the doctor can fix me this time.
