Shelby Cass’s Weblog

In case I haven’t mentioned it recently, I am indebted to Sandman who runs sleepnet.com and who has provided a forum for all the peeps like me who are sick and tired of being sick and tired…and who are doing something (usually drastic) about that.

So thank you thank you thank you.

Here’s what I posted on sleepnet tonight because it’s how I feel, and that is a pretty dang good feeling.

I was at work yesterday when I turned to my coworkers and said “I don’t know if you’ll understand this, but I wish everyone could feel the way I feel right now. Not in the still recovering from surgery sense, but in the oh my gosh I never knew life could be this good sense.” No one could have ever convinced me that life was going to feel so different after this surgery. It’s crazy.
I used to get every cold that walked by, and I would nurse it along for weeks…sometimes just until the next one came along and knocked me down. I always had bruises all over my body, and they took a long time to go away. Well, here’s something cool…what with sleeping FOR REAL now I have an operating immune system…AND since I am not sleep drunk all over the place, I have decreased the number of bruises on my legs from an average of 12 at a time to (lemmee look at my legs and do a bruise count) holy cow. ZERO. I knew Dr. Li was going to turn me into a superhero.

Super Shelby! Able to sleep through entire nights without gasping for air. I’m doing a little dance in my chair right now. YOu can’t see me, but I’m dancin’, Yeah baby!!!
