Day 3 sleepytime

Today I had my first rehabilitation interview, which we call a "sleepy". It is difficult for me to explain exactly what this is, so I'll just try to describe what happened.

I had to start fasting at midnight for my 8:30am session, not a big deal since that only meant missing breakfast. At 8:30 I entered a room and sat in a nice comfy reclining hospital bed. The nurse asked me what I thought my "aversion level" was, and since I've only had one Duffy it is fairly low.

Then they connected me to an IV that administered either sodium pentathol or something a lot like it. This is often called a "truth serum" but its use is so that they can speak to my subconscious and I guess read affirmations to me as well as ask questions that help reveal my aversion level. I'm not yet sure all they ask, so I'm not sure.

Anyway, they connected the IV and I repeated a few affirmations after the counselor, things like "I choose to be in control of my disease." Next thing I knew I awoke in my room in my bed and it was 10:30. I went back to sleep until 11:30.

Pretty interesting deal to be sure, I look forward to learning about what they asked and what I said.
