One step forward, one step back.... In other words, slow down you'renot "Wonder Woman"

Yesterday I got up about 8-845 after lying in bed. Made myself a poached egg on toast and at 9:00 am lay on the sofa. Dozed for a few minutes a couple of time. Made an egg salad sandwich for lunch and then back to the sofa.
I was totally, completely exhausted. Had trouble late afternoon catching my breath. I don't know when I've ever felt this level of totally drained.
Obviously two visitors, a shower and talking on the phone the day before were to much to handle.
I guess I should know better but had felt so good yesterday!!
Even after vegging out all day and evening, I went to bed early.
But then I woke at 12:10 with a nightmare in it I was screaming and having trouble talking. I was in a hospital and terrified of the things they were doing. Two if the Doctor's were drunk and one collapsed face down across the end of my bed. Needless to say the nightmare really shook me up. So, I read for a bit but did fairly quickly get back to sleep.
Unfortunately the night was disturbed again when I awoke at 5:00 to go to the bathroom.
But, first mushy oatmeal-type poop since home! I feel so much better knowing the system is working.
No sooner though was I back in my bed I had to get up again as I was in pain.
This time it was the runs and one tiny piece. Let me tell you, there are way too many times when just one little piece of poop can be excruciatingly painful to pass!
Now, to try once again to sleep!
