I have been so good for a couple of days. Felt strong. The only thing has been the itches. My skin itches all the time and it is quite frustrating. And it gives me bruises sometimes. Especially if I’m warm or have been in a shower. My skin is not dry though… but good grief it is annoying to have that going.
Real Estate have been busy. Been around East Texas showing houses. Yesterday we got another house under contract so it was all cheers!
So I came home from work this morning. Felt good. Got 6 hours of sleep at work so that wasn’t bad at all. Maybe not the best sleep since I’m sleeping in a recliner but still what I consider good.
Came home, fed the dogs, put the horse feed in water and did what I needed to do before routinely going to bed to spend quality time with the dogs. It is a super important time for them. I didn’t sleep but rested well. At 9:15 decided to get out of bed and start the day. So I got dressed and loaded the horse feed in the car. I had to run by Tractor Supply in Canton before going to the barn. Felt good. Absolutely nothing different or off. Not tired, no headache etc.
It was when I pulled in to their parking lot I felt it slowly coming. It is a special tiredness. Not the one when you are just yawning and think it would be nice to go to bed. It’s a feeling that your legs are getting weak and you are about to fall asleep or collapse right there and then. Out of nowhere the struggle between body and mind appears and now is the question who will win. Well, the mind has to because I can’t go to sleep at Tractor Supply.
I got my bag of feed as quickly as I could, supported by the cart. Didn’t even have the energy to return it where it should be. Drove to the barn with cold air blowing in my face. Drinking water to just do something.
When I got to the barn it was just to give the horses their buckets of feed, the pigs their feed an then the cat. All buckets of water was somewhat full and they anyway have an overfull pond to drink from if case may be. I don’t think I was at the barn for five minutes. I needed to get home as fast as I possibly could and go to bed. And that’s what happened.
Came home and headed straight to bed. The dogs were quite confused about why I went back to bed. I laid there and my body was done. It felt like I had done a marathon. I couldn’t move my arms or legs and it didn’t take 5 minutes before I was a sleep.
Three hours later I woke up from BamBam barking. It took me a minute to get my body moving again. All muscles were still asleep. Three hours of probably laying still and now the body had to move… It is kind of a hungover feeling when I’ve had an episode like this. But I got out of bed and could let the dogs out and go to the bathroom. Slowly my body is waking up. I’m still thinking quite slowly. Thankfully I don’t have anything I absolutely must do for the rest of the day so I can take it easy and let my body take the time it needs.
I thought that I would get an answer this week from the doctor. But I have figured out that I won’t. My next appointment is May 22nd and I don’t think I will hear anything until then. Isn’t that how health care things works? But I got to see it from a good point of view, that should mean that it’s nothing that is considered a major emergency…
