Lamaze

Who would have thought that Lamaze classes I attended with my wife twenty two years ago would come in handy for me at this point in my life.

Sunday, an uncontrollable sneeze rocked my midsection with a jolt that took my breath away. "Huff and Puff" was what I used to regain some composure and comfort. Well I be darned if it didn't happen again after dinner last night. This time the pain managed to spread itself out to the point that my back and legs started hurting as well, I was a mess.

Good thing I only used five pain pills out of the thirty prescribed for me after I left the hospital, plenty left. Taking two (which I had never done before) and with Sue rubbing my legs for an hour I slowly recovered and became quite comfortable.

Here is the "odd" part; I haven't had a good nights sleep in a couple of weeks, so perhaps a benefit of the medication might have been some restful "ZZZZ's" . Should have been except I had a dream, I left a meeting with eyes as heavy as freight trains. I wanted so much to get home I fought hard the urge to fall asleep and actually woke myself up.

UGH!
