| So my routine is to take a pill every time I wake up and I go right back to sleep within minutes. Last night, I would wake-up thinking that I'd already taken my pain medication and would fall back to sleep. Through the night, my pain increased as did my error in judgment. At one point, I dreamt that I had dislocated my new hip. This is the Ted Bundy of things that could take you by surprise following hip surgery. I laid there semi-conscious trying to decide whether I should crawl to the phone or wait until morning, and possibly force my granddaughter to make the call for me. I must have fallen back into slumberville, because I was reawaked by a loud thump that came from my pelvis - either I dreamt the reduction of my dislocation or somehow my strong inner self, feeling the need to take the helm, muscled the titanium head back in for me. | So my routine is to take a pill every time I wake up and I go right back to sleep within minutes.

| - | When I finally awoke at 0745, all my pain pills were on the stand where I had left them the night before, and most of my pain was still present. I had to wonder that since I'd been worrying so much about dislocating my first prosthetic, that maybe I had a virtual dislocation in my sleep. Best thing to do was to consult my favorite physician. | + | When I finally awoke at 0745, all my pain pills were on the stand where I had left them the night before, and most of my pain was still present.
