So last night I slept on the couch. It was hot as hell upstairs, so I went to the living room to read (A SEASON FOR THE DEAD by David Hewson and it KICKS ASS) for a little while, and then I got tired to I went back upstairs, but then I still couldn't get to sleep so I gave up and went downstairs and slept on the couch. I was out like a light as soon as my head hit the pillow. And then I had a weird dream.
I dreamt that I'd just had gastic bypass surgery. My mom and dad and brother were with me at the clinic. I'd just woken up and they were preparing me to go home, giving me instructions on how to take care of my wound. It was a small incision above my pubic bone, and it was from there that they'd apparently taken out my intestines and fooled around with them. The nurse was telling me I couldn't take any medication until I healed, but my incision was starting to hurt. And then we had to go talk about my insurance coverage; the surgery was only $6000, and I thought that was quite a deal because that was about what our car cost.
So then my parents were taking me home, and I was SO HUNGRY but I wasn't allowed to eat, because if I did I would get sick. And I was really worried about causing some sort of tear in my abdomen that would cause me to bleed to death. And the nurse had told me absolutely no soda because the carbonation would cause problems, and the first thing I did was drink a Dr. Pepper, so I was freaking about about killing myself by doing that. So then I started freaking out and crying because I had the surgery in the first place, and now I would never be able to eat normally ever again. But the worst was I got home and had to tell The Husband that I'd had the surgery; I'd never told him I was doing it. I was too embarrassed that I needed it and that I was having it done to tell him, so he was angry. And then I woke up.
What the heck was up with that?
