Wish Me Sweet Dreams

By Coreyamaro

If I had a red cape I would be ready to fly.

I am bionic woman.

Hooked up to yards of wire and tape.

Sleep apnea testing.

The doctor said,

"...rate the following 

1) never

2) seldom

3) more often than not

4) always.

I said,

"I don't like to answer Always or Never."

He tilted his head as if to say,

"Seriously?"

He asked me to rate the following:

1) Do you fall asleep while driving?

2) Do you fall asleep within 30 minutes when someone else is driving?

3) Do you fall asleep within 30 minutes after reading in bed?

4) Do you fall asleep when you are relaxing with friends after a meal?

5) Do you fall asleep...

I answered every question yes.

After several more questions the doctor asked me,

"Are you ever awake?"

"I think so..." then I realized he was being funny and not expecting an answer.

Wish me sweet dreams!

I told the doctor,

"Hey, I don't think I can fall asleep tonight with these wires every where on my body!"

He doubted my response, and laughed, "We will see."
