Insomniacs not so anonymous!

Oh Mawboon I m so sorry to read this I hope by now you are having some rest thinking of you
Yes I m much more anxious than I used to be Mary it’s not just you
Here’s to some rest for you all xxxx

Endoscopy did not show any more active bleeding but there is/was blood and a large clot in his stomach. Reversing his INR has stopped the bleeding but nothing visible that could be sealed off surgically/stitched so if he were to restart a bleed there's not a lot left they could do. He is stable but will be kept under so that they can try to see further in the morning. Not out of the woods yet. Waiting and seeing.
Might try to go to bed now.

2.30 mug of tea.

So sorry MawBroon I do so hope all will be well. X

Thinking of you MawBroon and hoping all is well

Sitting up tonight.
Things are quite serious. Paw had a massive haemorrhage while I was with him this evening and vomited copious amounts of blood. Everything swung into action but despite starting to transfuse him he kept on vomiting more blood.
He is to have an Endoscopy under anaesthetic (probably happening now) to try to find whether something has ruptured or what, stop the bleeding and stabilise him.
But I have been warned he is very poorly.

I fined I have become more anxious with age Marydoll. But how romantic for your daughter. My son in laws had to ask me ?

Good morning all,
For a change, I actually slept most of the night. I was exhausted last night. I hadn't heard a word all day from DH on his adventure in Islay. He "forgot his phone was on flight mode all day" .
I was so anxious when I noticed the return flight from Islay hadn't even taken off from Glasgow to go to Islay. I had visions of him spending the night there.
Does everyone get more anxious as they get older? It all seems so silly in the cold light of day. I never used to be like this. Anyway, I fell into bed last night, as they were so late back.
The purpose of the trip: my daughter's boyfriend asked my husband's approval to marry my daughter. (Unusual in this day and age) She doesn't know yet. I'm bursting to tell.
I hope everyone has a better day than last night was for them.

Me again, annie, it feels like a very long night as I guess it does for you. No gritters here, sadly we don’t get them even when they are needed which I don’t think they are tonight. Weve a clear day forecast, hope it’s right, might help to wake me up. Have a fair drive to accomplish in, oh, 5 hours. It will be OK Mr C will take over if it’s too much, I’m lucky to have him. Hope you can get some more sleep after your mug of tea. Please rest when you can in the day. Sending love.

3.00am, mug of tea, so tired , the gritter was out last night so there must be ice , oh and only November , cheery thought - not.

Morning shirley, one programme down and still wide awake. Good this, isn’t it?? could do with a cuppa but don’t want to wake Mr C. The downside of living in a bungalow is the kitchen is too close to the bedroom. At least no cuppa reduces my bathroom trips ?

.......so morning cornergran ?

Sons alarm went off, looked at my clock and I ' thought' it read 5am so went downstairs to put kettle on....1.55 the clock says...still made a cuppa ...wide awake....

I know it’s early and no one else will be about but just can’t sleep. Suspect i was given something with caffeine in at some point today, it always leaves me twitchy. I’m about to plug in the headphones and watch some very boring tv on iPlayer, may drift off then. Hope the adventurers returned safely, mary and you have managed to both eat and sleep a little annie: you are never far from my thoughts. It would be good if you were all asleep as I write this.

Thanks Cornergran. You know how we mums worry.
I already got the taxi pick up changed, after I had sussed out what flight they were getting. The younger man didn't realise how busy security is at that time of the morning at Glasgow.

Annie, it's very worrying that you are not eating, as well as not sleeping. You will need all your strength for the coming days.

Try not to worry. mary, it all sounds really exciting and I am sure the younger man won’t let your husband come to harm. Thinking about you Annie, please rest when you can.

Awake every hour on the hour.
My daughter's boyfriend asked my husband to keep today free. He asked me to make sure DH was ready for 7am complete with passport, but wouldn't say where they were going and that they would be back tonight. I was terrified that he would sleep in. It's all cloak and dagger and I have not to tell any of her siblings. .
By doing some detective work, I think he is taking my husband on a tour of distilleries on a Scottish island. There is a flight to Islay at 8.30am and one back later this evening.
I have a very strong feeling he is going to ask my daughter to marry him. I could be totally wrong! Watch this space!
I will now worry all day, that they will get back safely, as everything depends on the weather. The ferries were cancelled yesterday due to the weather.

Yesterday I managed to sleep, on and off, till 10 to six. I hoped I might have turned a corner. Today, it was 4.20 again. Fed up. Have had a cuppa, now to catch up on Twitter.

Hi Annie, here I lay too! I dont think my dog is too well now. Sending you love and hugs. Think Ill go and make a coffee. X

4.30am. Mug tea. Acid reflux really bad, can't be anything I ate , praps it's because I am not eating much.

should have said these are sold to help with anxiety issues too

I've been trawling the internet looking for remedies for my daughters symptoms,one of which is insomnia.I dont know if any of you have heard of WEIGHTED BLANKETS? They seem to have medical support and great reviews ,although aren't suitable for some conditions.I'm about to order one for my daughter as I've been experimenting with extra weight on my bed for a few nights now and have found I sleep much better.The blankets online are heavy...some weigh up to 30pounds

4.30 and mug of tea, been lying here for an hour , thought I would try to break the 3.00 - 3.30am tea but not good idea, just lay here for hour.

Good morning all, only up twice last night! Imagine being pleased at only being up and about twice. It could be that I was exhausted after two days of DGD!
Annie, I hope you can get some rest today. Enjoy your day , all.

Morning all. I haven’t been here for a while but I do pop in most mornings too see how you are. I don’t post because it seems quite smug to tell you all I’ve slept all night. Every time I get these phases of prolonged good sleep I tell myself I’ve cracked it but I never have. This has been an unusually long phase of good sleep. I should scroll back to see my last post to check but it’s too much trouble this early. This is one of the rare weekends that I haven’t had any of my grandchildren. Perhaps I sleep better when there here because they wear me out. Somtimes when their here I can’t wait for them to go home, when I don’t have them I miss them. There’s no pleasing me. I’ve been thinking about Annie too. I hope you’ve managed a little sleep you must be exhausted. Grief is so hard to bear and there is nothing I can say to comfort you. Hope the day ahead isn’t to hard for all you insomniacs.

Hello anyone still awake, although hope you are all asleep now. Also plagued by night time circular thoughts. Flipping nuisance. Not trying to sleep now, I’d also love a cup of tea but know that would disturb Mr C. Not fair on him. So, reading via the iPad for a bit. Not long until I can reasonably get up now. Take care if you’ve had a bad night, rest at some point if you can.
