Sleeping Beauty Overload:P

So I'v talked in the past about my insane insomnia, for instance like now lol its 3am. And I'm not even a wink tired AH! that's so annoying! And actually tonight is the first night in awhile that I have had trouble sleeping. I duno these last couple days have gone by like a dream. Iv been so tired during the day. And its not cause I'm not getting sleep. 
Its not like a sleepy tired, its just plain drained and weak tired. Iv been doing so well with dialysis and energy the past six months. These last couple days I cant even sit down without fallin asleep. LOL I don't even know Iv fallen asleep, and when I wake I don't know if its been two hours or 2 mins. And sometimes it it has been two hours haha. Part of it  I'm thinkable is the heat, these past few days we have had a lil bit of a heat wave, so heat plus sick person whos already petite and now under weight, maybe doesn't make a good combo? I duno that's just my guess.  And on top of that dialysis has been taking off more fluid than usual, not there is really anything to pull of but they are really stretching it. So I  feel like sleeping beauty stuck in a sleeping spell. :P Just gotta figure out what changed to trigger this sleeping spell. Like I said its not that I feel tired, well not at first. Just weak, but then as I take nap after nap through the day that makes me sleepier. Its only been that way the last 3 days or so, so hopefully my body will snap out of it.  


As for dialysis, like I said they are starting to tryin and pull more fluid. They are really tryin, I can tell, lol cause now I get cramps towards the end of treatment. Not major cramps but enough to bug me. And so I have a dialysis chest catheter for my treatment. Theres different types of ways to do treatment, the chest cath is usually for short term people who will eventually get a kidney. And then theres other things like arm fistulas that are more for long term, years of treatment. So the doc officially decided that I dont need an arm fistula. Thank God for that, I don't want one those, that scared me more than have tubes stick out of my chest. Theres quite a bit of people who say they would rather have the arm access, not me.  Ya chest cath makes it a lil difficult bathing, and thats one the biggest reasons say they dont like chest caths. Ya so you have to bath with the water right about at your belly button level. Wit the Catherine all bandaged up so it doesn't get wet, then upper half of the body that cant get wet I have to sponge bath, and lastly I wash my hair in the sink. Urg, ya its seems like an ordeal, and that because the catheter is connected directly to my heart. If bacteria was to get in the tubes and start growing that would be no good, direct line to my heart  hello thats no good.  So I don't mind, just as long as I dont have to get an arm fistula. If you have that you have to get needle pokes every dialysis treatment, And that is so not for me. Well sleeping beauty is going to attempt to rest. 
Good night and Good morning :P
