The End of My Mind Even My Dreams Are Out To Get Me

Since I've started a wide variety of brain touching drugs (all prescription, non-recreational mind you) I've been having very bizarre dreams. They are very realistic... often times with me dreaming of mundane things like washing the car or dishes and waking and later being confused about why the car or dishes are dirty... the reality line is getting blurry.

Last night I had a dream about having knee surgery. The dream started with me waking up in the recovery area. My knee felt fine and I sat up in the bed and took a drink of ginger ale. I chatted with the nurse about how good I felt compared to last time I had the surgery when I woke up all a mess. They said the surgery went well and I had a 100% recovery prognosis. My mom and wife came in and we chatted. It was all very normal. The doctor came in and discussed how successful everything went. He then mentioned that they'd found a large hole in the bone and sinus membrane in my skull. Apparently this hole was causing all of my problems and it needed to be repaired. They then stuck hot irons up my nose to burn the hole shut and then they had to take my face off to repair the bone. They also didn't use any painkillers... they just did it.

I woke up.

My brain is a jerk.

Five more days to find out about surgery. I wasn't this nervous about it the first time... I think because I didn't know what I was getting into.
