A Bad Night at a Sleep Clinic...
May. 20th, 2006 10:37 ambeats a good night at work any evening.
It's a damned good thing I got some Lunesta from my doc beforehand, or all I would have been doing is laying there thinking about all the wires & belts & sensors & the crap on my head. The Lunesta knocked my ass out initially, but I still was awoken every 30 minutes or so by the air conditioning. It sounded, and vibrated, like a Boeing 747 flying low through the room. And then it got cold - there was a perfectly good bedspread on the floor that I couldn't reach because the wires had me tethered to the right side of the bed, so I ended up having to buzz the nurse. Meh. Ah well, I had to pee by that point, anyway, so there I went, trailing wires behind me.
At least I know I will never have to wear those hideous Easter-peeps yellow pajamas ever again. They were the only thing I could find at Wal-Mart that had shorts.
