had the cranberry...
and it seems to be helping. With that and the other, seems to have adverted the bladder crisis. It's the "nourishment thing' that's bugging me....I WANT to absorb....I'm EATING as well as I can.....I guess I can't complain....two and a half months of not sleeping and yesterday was only the second time my immune system started giving the 'getting sick' (fluish, sore throat) and I just might be able to stave that off. Which amazes me, actually. I joke about 'patching' my now 17 year old daughter together with what little knowledge I have, so she can keep being foolish (eat the junk her dad brings home, not poop for six days, and then hope I can keep her functioning--she'll collapse as soon as its school break and sleep for a couple of days straight...all in my family are hard sleepers, and can sleep LONG periods, except me. Back to the patching people together--I do the same for myself--keep me running....ah, but the pain. The accupuncturis gave me a heat thingie to help with energy, (acupressure help I believe) when I should probably just use a mallet and knock myself unconcious and SLEEP. That's my missing piece of the health puzzle....at least a BIG one....I'm finally 'hitting the wall' and not able to push past a certain point--it's scary, it happened this week at 10:30 in the morning--my body just said, "I quit. Go lay down or I'm falling over'. I don't know what would have happened if I was out running--so, I'm about to finish this insomnia 'lesson'. If I can start sleeping 6 hours a night instead of 3 or 4, that would be great. My fear is all start sleeping excessivly....and i'm not even finishing that FEAR. Not going there.
(the adult college girls come home Saturday and Tuesday--I don't even know how that will effect the family dynamics.)
later,
