He told me he wanted to do a lumbar puncture to rule out infection. We were hoping to have the test early next week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That night I took 1\/2 a sleeping pill to help rule out sleep disorders.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The next morning I woke up at 6:30, then 7:30, then 9:30. I was extremely tired all morning and which was most likely due to the sleeping pill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I had a new nurse who helped me get out of bed on my own and she stayed with me for 30 minutes while I waited through the episodes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was the first time a nurse asked me what I wanted to do and helped me do it. I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and clean up.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>After I sat by the window to try and keep myself upright. I had several episodes but I pushed through.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning the hospitalist came to check on me.
