The Patient II

I've switched to drinking orange juice because I got sick of all the apple juice. The nausea is in the middle of my back and in my head. Every morning when I get into the office, I spend about an hour or two just sitting there with this horrible feeling inside. It comes and goes throughout the day like the tide.

Last night I lay in bed not completely able to sleep with all the discomfort in me. Just breathing seemed like a strain as with every exhale, I was losing a piece of me.

My brother came by today after work. He just sold his old 4Runner and is in the process of buying a new one. And at the same time, he finally proposed to work on selling his old Chevette which has been sitting in the garage for years. Maybe I will finally have a safe place to store a motorcycle. Maybe one day I will buy one.

Yesterday my mother bought me one of those contoured foam pillows and coincidentally enough, my neck has been bothering me for the past couple of weeks from not sleeping right. Everyone's reading my mind.
