Serious Sleep Deprivation

Luckily, on my first scheduled appointment to my family doctor who also does medical certificates for pilots as he is a pilot too.

He told us that sleep deprivation would be a normal reaction because of the temporary PTSD and because of the deep trauma that an operation of this kind does to a person. He also said that he would give me a special antibiotic shot that would burn a lot.

However, it didn't really burn because the nurse told me that they mix the shot antibiotic with an anesthetic. He was right at just how good that stuff is because I went from about 40% of normal mental and physical to about 60% to 70% of normal today. Also he gave me a cool walker that is sort of like a bicycle without pedals and it has handle bars and hand brakes. But, if I buy one or rent one eventually I want one that is taller because I have to bend over too much even though I can travel now really fast rather than looking like I'm 100 years old or more.

To hear how bad my sleep deprivation is I have had 5 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. So, it gets kind of different and weird really easy if I don't really stay on top of the hallucinations caused by lack of sleep.

My wife and I agreed that if we got into an argument that I would say, "I can't take this anymore. I'm walking away into another room. Don't follow me."

This is code for "Reality is melting give me some space."

My doctor said sleep deprivation is normal after a major operation that many people die of sepsis from like this one. I don't have sepsis because I didn't go back to the hospital for further diagnostics for 1 week. So, this is the only reason I don't have sepsis from an intrusive operation the same day my appendix burst. I didn't go in again for one full week.

Then I said, "please give me a sonogram."

They said, "A CT scan is better in defining this."

I said, "Ok"
They came back with pictures, "We have scheduled an emergency appendectomy using robotic equipment that sees inside your body and lasers and cauterizes things out of the way.

The best way I can put this is my perceptions aren't that different than when I was born around 1840 or 1850 in Tibet.

I became a Cave Yogi in that lifetime and studied for two years the art of levitation.

I can remember flying out of there one moonlit spring night and lifting off and flying away.

Something like this takes (a right minded person) about 2 to 5 years to accomplish.

However, it isn't as useful to learn that as it once was because it is just more cost effective to just take a passenger plane since the 1920s and 1930s.
