Yesterday after dialysis, my parents and I went to lunch since they were already in the area. Usually we get Asian food but my parents wanted to eat at Johnie’s Jr. Burgers or “the place you get the breakfast burrito.” Food was pretty inexpensive; three of us ate lunch for ~$25.
After lunch, I decided to drive home before heading to the acupuncture appointment. It was a short 6.5 miles home but I guess I was so tired from dialysis that I don’t remember most of the drive. I think I even fell asleep waiting for the garage door to open when I did get home. I’ve only been driving a few weeks post-surgery and have been wide awake for every trip so this was a bit scary.
I tried taking a nap but I had to fill out some forms for the acupuncture appointment. I think the 25 minutes of just laying there with some needles inserted was like a nap. I was fine driving home, mostly on the same roads as before. I did crash after dinner, sleeping from 8:00 pm to about 11:00 pm. It’s now about 1:00 am and I need to try and fall back asleep.
