Since having Rituxan added to my chemotherapy regimen, I have been having these sometimes funny sometimes not so funny dreams. I am not sure if it is from the Rituxan or from the Zantac and/or the Benadryl that they give me with it to prevent side- effects but something is definitely causing these dreams.
The ones that have been frightening are the ones that really bother me.
I'll be sleeping and I'll hear the phone ring or the outside door open and someone coming into the house unannounced . One night I tried to yell out for help from Brian but I was having a terrible time getting the words to come out. I was so scared and panic stricken and my heart was racing like crazy. I finally managed to get the words out and it woke up Brian. He rolled over and asked me what was wrong and when he asked me that question I woke up. All was okay, there was no one in the house and the phone had not rung on the other night but it sure destroyed a good nights sleep. I couldn't get back to bed after that and my tail was dragging by morning.
Some of the funnier dreams involve Brian. In both cases he has been the counter top in the kitchen!
In the first dream, I was preparing a meal for guests. I was laying out the cheese, meat and crackers on the counter top ( his chest) when Brian awoke and asked me if everything was okay. It woke me up and all I could do was laugh. I told him about the dream and he had a good laugh too.
Last night I had another dream about working in the kitchen. This time there was some one in the kitchen with me but I don't remember who they were. I think it may have been either Jordan or Melia, anyway, I had just finished preparing a pie and I was cleaning the flour from the counter ( Brian's back) and scrubbing it down. What woke me up is when Brian told me I was hired. Apparently he had been enjoying a nice back rub!
I told him that he better hope that I don't start chopping onions next!
I think bread baking and meat tenderizing might not feel so good either!
I see my oncology nurse today and one of the doctors tomorrow- we seriously need to have a chat about what is going on!

At least you can get a good laugh out of something, right?
