Getting The Rest and Sleep

I have done very much sleeping since I returned home from hospital. Not the meniere's related type of sleep, yet something like an exhaustion and catch-up-on-the-sleep, sleep. The rest and sleep I was unable to maintain while in hospital. During my six days, I got by with sometimes less than forty five minutes per day - others maybe get by with no more than than two hours of sleep. The last day and one half as a patient I was finally finding stratigic moments to close my eyes for rest and a sleep that was not a sleep. Semi-Sleep, is what I shall refer to it as. My physical state has commanded this rest...

...all I've had to do was listen to it.

It is so very good to be here in my lodge. With my family near by, my bed, pillows and blankets, and our hounds forever keeping an eye on my back, front and sides. I feel protected and guarded.

I beleive I am coming out of the medicinal other places as I am slowly regain the all of me. It is never easy adjusting to hospital's schedule. I am well aware the staff is there to make the patient as comfortable as possible while maintaining the regimen of doctor ordered procedures, medications, vital statistics and the what-not's that come along with a hospital stay...

...it is because of this regimen I am home today. Am easier to breath and the infection that had overwhelmed my body is continuing to be flushed from these veins, body parts and the places where we pass body fluids and waste.
I can feel it.

This infection had found itself a home in my physical form. This infection is being fought and expelled, all to gladly by it's host.
