The night owl thread (the late shift).

[fossyant]

Argh. Wide awake. Struggling sleeping with my busted back and ribs. Can't lie on sides as it hurts and can't lie on back as I feel crushed (plus I snore badly if I do sleep on back).

Tried a slow release morphine earlier, stomach now gurgling like a boiling pan.

Propped up on the settee. Will be showing HR and my line manager my 'sleeping arrangements' next week when they do a home visit to see if/when I am likely to be back at work.

Might just ask them if they know how long I'll be off, as I have no bloody clue either.

 

[fossyant]

Who else is up and why ?

 

[RoubaixCube]

Me. Cuz I normally sleep around this time unless I have work.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Me, my 11 week old kitten is up plus my sleep is all over the place due to being off work with possible chronic fatigue.

 

[classic33]

Up because of a reaction to medication prescribed. Supposed to be able to knock an elephant out. But with less than 15 hours sleep since Wednesday, I'm doubting that claim.
Still sore from a slight problem(fit that didn't end in an A&E) on Wednesday.

 

[fossyant]

I'd like some meds that knock an elephant out. They don't knock me out.

 

[classic33]

Neither do mine, and I'm on the upper limit.

Elephants common round your way at night then?

 

[fossyant]

Yeh.

 

[classic33]

Pink or your normal grey?

 

[fossyant]

Elephants or the morphine. I've not taken enough for the vivid dreams. L

Pink or your normal grey?

Nope Deffo not morphine.

Elephants

To dream, means going to sleep first

 

[classic33]

Time for one of the light orange ones, one of the dark grey two white and a light grey one. Repeat in three hours.

Then listen to the radio, no reading.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I'm up.

(for obvious reasons)

Reading this I am going to count myself lucky. I'm only up because I'm being paid. 20 minutes time my relief will arrive, so by 7 I'll be snoring.
