Well, thanks to those of you who asked if I survived my ambien test: all one of you.
I will say that I did not survive without incident, although minor. First of all, I didn't sleep all night like I was hoping, just a little bit better. The first day after, I felt super good but I think it was all in my head, as I felt pretty much normal the other days, after better-than-average but still sucky nights.
But one night Sue and I were talking in bed about really deep stuff, I mean really deep, only married couples stuff, and finally she said, "Are you awake?" I said, "Yes, I am awake, but it's hard to hear you with all the other people talking to me …" Wow.
I have one Ambien left and I am saving it for a special occasion.
In the meantime, I am waiting for a letter from the NHS to make me feel good about socialized medicine.
And while I wait I keep running into more people who seem completely normal on the outside, but turn out to have apnea on the inside! I have received encouraging news from those into surgery (I might almost have to be dead before I go that route, however) and those who are big on non-surgical solutions. I am optimistic that there is … you know … hope.
What?! Sue didn’t give you a pop quiz after the deep married people’s talk to check you’d been listening? I find concept questions work quite well at catching him out :)
Gosh Jon…I feel so badly…I forgot to send the “Ambien bouquet” to the sleeping pill virgin. And to think FTD was having a special on them. I feel like such a cad. ;-)
Dear Jonathan
Forgive me for contacting you out of the blue like this,but I came across your details on”Clueless”whilst searching for Talei Payne,who I understand,is a relative of yours.It’s an outside chance,I know,but I need to contact Talei urgently..she’s vanished from her address in Southport,and holds information regarding some important design artwork that she did for my Company.Are you in contact with her,and,if so,have you any way of asking her to contact me? Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated,as a successful contact would save me a considerable amount of money. Regards. Laurie Hardman.Broadhursts of Southport Ltd.(Booksellers).
