midnight mayhem

For some reason I often wake within a minute or two of midnight. Perhaps there is a clock which wakes up just enough to disturb but not enough for me to notice?
Last night I'm suddenly awake at 00:02
... this time it is not pleasant :-(
I'm feeling all-over rotten :-(

I go for a pee, feel no better.
Stagger -- and groan -- to the games room
... groaning loud enough to disturb Deb (that much is not entirely accidental.

As I try to describe it to Deb:
My stomach hurts, acid reflux (that one is clear. ... my Head aches. Muscles are tense and uncomfortable.
Nope, I don't know.... just physically awful.

Acid reflux stomach is easy, fresh water will fix it (wash the acid clear) Deb fetches a glass of water.

Stomach stops hurting, everything else gradually
 eases.
I feel a bit better.

What is now very clear: whatever it is... lying down will make it worse.

At last... the SC hospital bed comes into its own: I perch in it, semi-sitting but in a position that allows me to sleep.

I spend the night in the hospital bed. Whatever was rotten does not return. Phew !

  1. We have a similar bed so that I can elevate to about 15 degrees to help with reflux.
