Flying Higher Than A Kite..

My left knee had been hurting for about 3 month, I was having a hard time walking and sleeping because of the pain.  I had been to a sports doctor is see about it, x-rays were taken, then I received a shot to see if that would help, it did for a few days.  Our friend Marvin said the pain sounded like what he had had and suggested we call his doctor who was a Orthopedic Surgeon, we did and made an appointment.  A MRI was ordered with another appointment, the results was surgery was needed. Because this was around the holidays surgery was schedule for February 7th.

The day came for the surgery, I went to the hospital, things went well and I was sent home. I was given a prescription for pain medicine and instructions for care.  I followed all the instruction and took my medicine as prescribe.  A couple days went by and I said to my husband that I been feeling dizzy since I started taking that pain medicine, so I'm not going to take it anymore.

Things went smooth that day, I was feeling better, when night came I was ready for a good nights sleep.

WRONG !!!

That night as I laid in bed sleeping some of the time, dreaming of sort and sometimes awake, I found that some of the things I was seeing or thinking about was all over the page.  I felt that I was in my room in my bed but my room was somewhere out in the wilds, as I looked around the windows were open, the wind was blowing and sheer curtains was spinning up and down and around.  I found myself awake and talking out load, not making any sense, I tried to get comfortable but that seemed to be impossible, I kept pulling on my sheet but I found my flannel shirt was sewn to the sheet and I wanted to find the sleeves to put my arms in because I was cold.

I only wished that this night could be over and morning would appear.  Morning finally did arrived,
I was happy to find myself safe at home in my comfortable bedroom.

This new day was good I was feeling much better, night time was here and I was ready for bed.  I could see that it had been snowing and so I turned on the outside lights to watch the soft snow fall and then I saw some turkeys out in the yard looking for some food, as I watch these turkeys I notice a young girl standing near by, her hair was blowing, her arms where waving and she seemed to be talking to the turkeys, I soon went to my husband and told him about the little girl outside, he told me no little girl would be out in our yard but he came with me to look.  We opened the front door and I called, "Little girl, little girl come here its cold out there, come and get warm, I'll fix you some Hot Chocolate," but she just stood there, guess she didn't want any hot chocolate.  My dear husband kept telling me no one was there but I was sure she was out there, I could see her.

Morning again came but I could not get over that night about seeing a little girl, my husband told me I was seeing the water pipe he had in the yard and with the snow spinning around, to me it looked like a little girl.

I have thought about those two nights and what was happening and thinking it was just because I had been taking those pain pills and then I was wondering why our young people today take pills, smoke and take all kind of drugs to get so high..  not knowing if things are real or just a hallucination or an illusion sure boggles my mind.

I shared this with my daughter and she Laughed and said "Oh Mama you were flying higher than a kite." .... I guess I was, but I sure hope this never happens to me again...
