Today [2]

[johnwillyums]

Sorry to hear you're having problems sleeping Kari my friend and as BFK says go careful with the Barbs and Scotch.
You don't want to be remembered like Jimi Hendrix only not as good on guitar

I'm having similar issues at the moment. On Monday I fell off a chair decorating, broke two ribs and punctured a lung.
Doctor said I was lucky I didn't break my back.
Needless to say this is immensely painful. I can't cough, breath deeply, move much and most importantly I can't laugh
I've been given some extra strong codeine which knock me out so I've been back to bed 3 times already today.
This is quite a performance as it takes 20 minutes to get my trousers off.
Once in bed I can sleep for about two hours and then wake myself up by moving and causing incredible pain.
My screams of pain are a concern for Jack, The Hound of Mystery, so he jumps onto the bed and onto me causing further screaming.

I'd laugh if I could

ps Talisker far too good to waste as a sedative

Sorry to hear JW, ribs are VERY painful. :shock:

Sorry to hear you're having problems sleeping Kari and John, ouch, you take care, trouble is they can't really do anything for broken ribs can they, it's not as if they can put them in plaster.

I can imagine that your screaming would upset the dog but it doesn't help him jumping on you trying to show his concern, I hope they don't take too long to heal and you're not in pain for too long.

@Thorsen: I could try but it is forbidden in Germany, only researches can buy it to use in non-human experiments.

@Maineac: Thanks, I like choir music. You know our pride and joy, the boys' choir Thomanerchor? When Johan Sebastian Bach worked as organist in Thomaskirche, St. Thomas Church, here in Leipzig he was the director of this choir between 1723 and 1750. Some traditions there!

@Ted & John: Thanks for warning. Does not happen so often, it's just that yesterday I wanted sleep so desperately I was pissed off when the barbs didn't help. Opened the bottle and tried that. Didn't help.

Anyway, I never take more than two pills.

And John, I'm sorry for you. I know how broken ribs can hurt, it's really PITA (or in your case PITC, Pain In The Chest ).

Thanks for the clarification, all kinds of thoughts were going through my thinker. :roflmao:

Ok sorry Kari, I didn't know Meletonin was illegal there. I have taken them before when i was suffering from insomnia (lol i almost wrote insanity). They helped a lot. other things I had to do was change my lifestyle. I don't drink any caffine or sugar at night and that makes a big difference.

Kari;

Years ago working a second shift, 4PM to 2AM, has nearly destroyed any chance for me of "normal" sleeping habits. However illogical it might sound, I can sleep with the TV (or music) on. In the dark and quiet, my mind races thinking about anything and everything. The sound of the TV disrupts this and lets me sleep, mostly.

Been there, done that!

Well today I've spent the better part of it baby sitting, so I'm cream crackered, but I've got some lovely photo's of the boys.

There had been an offer on professional photo's for babies so Kelly took them both. It was really just to have Connor, the youngest done as his brother Cameron had his done last year.

They went to pick them up today and they are great, OK I know I'm biased, they are both all smiles.
I'll have to scan them into my computer and put them in my album.

Let's see them. This reminds me, what happened to the "post a pic" thread?

Kari, it is not my specialty and I am fortunate I never had insomnia like yours, but reading that I wonder: have you spoken to your doctor about an anxiolytic (which is not a barbiturate, since they are also a kind of anxiolytic), or antidepressant medication?

You seem to be in a cycle of being anxious about sleeping, not sleeping, getting more anxious and nervous about it hence really not being able to sleep.

I am worried about you buddy... the combination you are using is dangerous. Just make really sure the amount you are taking, since it impairs judgement and you might take a wrong / high dose without even realizing.

Be careful

 

[Kari]

Thanks for your concern, Wally.

I've tried almost every possible medicine. This has been going on about 4-5 years now. It goes in cycles, every 10 to 12 days my body can not cope anymore and I'll sleep one or two night s really OK, about 10 hours. Then it starts again.

I go to bed normally when Angie goes. I'll read a bit, put the lights off and try to sleep. I'm back on my computer an hour and half or two hours later, not putting the light back on so Angie can sleep. Back in bed 4-5Am, waking up without alarm before 8.

I'm getting used to this. I used to think it was work stress related, but it seems nothing has changed since beginning of this year when I decided to let younger colleagues to do the travelling instead of me. I'm mostly home here in Leipzig or the other home in Solingen, I've reduced my working weeks to an average 55 hours, I'm exercising, eating quite healthy, and most important, feeling completely happy in my life.

Life goes on. Finding SF last summer gave at least some content to my lonely nights

Hi.. You might give thought to seeing a sleep specalist.. It can't hurt anything.. YOU might get the needed help.
Good luck..
Hugs never hurt either.. so here are hugs to tide you over..

Today I continued work on my chess program. All pieces are moving and with their movement rules, such as a pawn can move 2 spaces on it's first move, 1 space thereafter etc. Need to implement capture rules now, and then add a control panel to reset board etc and it's done

 

[Thorsen]

Today I viewed the forum rules by accident for the 5th time I will get used to it being in the Quick Links. Good placement for it.

 

[Dinesh]

Today I installed F-Secure Internet Security software.

Been busy to-day:

1. Signed on that the JobCentre and did some general shopping.

2. Dad accidently burnt-out a hedge cutter (very smoky) whilst trying to see what was wrong it. He is going another one anyway.

So to-day has gone quite quickly.

 

[Uber Philf]

Today, was at a friends house at midnight removing some key loggers and Trojans from his PC, and we stayed up all night chatting and playing games

Since he was tired at 6am, i decided to drive home, got home, to remember the door has an alarm on it.

So i fed the dog, and dad heard that i was back, and let me in, slept for 3 hrs, mowed the lawn, hung the clothes on the line, all with no sleep.

Now just relaxing

Today I'm resting up from my vacation and trying to get caught up on the forums.
