Managed to get some sleep, though I couldn't get comfortable and often woke to wander the condo in pain. When I finally got a good patch of sleep, waking around 9am, I cuddled with Michael while Mark showered. My headache was worse, my jaw was still sore and my abdoman still pained, though it felt better with Michael's warm body pressed against it. I knew I should be in the shower to help with my headache, but as Mark & I don't shower together anymore that wasn't possible...and I also knew I'd have to get up soon for my doctor's appointment. I remembered the dream I'd had about lots of naked women, living and falling in love with other naked women; naked lesbians. Was I becoming a straight man? lol.

I got up. But I knew it wasn't going to work out once I did I was so disoriented from my multiple pains. I called the doc's office to see if there was a fee for cancelling and they said no, so I cancelled. I've been pain free from urination, off and on for a couple days - some days it's hurt while other times it's not - I've had no pain today - so perhaps it's clearing up on it's own. The other thing I was going to talk about with the Doc was my jaw, but I've already spoken to a nurse there who told me my insurance won't cover anyplace but UofM which can't see me for 14 more months, so that's pointless. Mark went to pharmacy and got our drugs while I took my last 2 Midrin and layed down - when he returned, Michael left for home, and Mark gave me some Mirilax for my constipation. I briefly got up and my headache got 10 times worse - monster migrain proportions. I took a 3rd Midrin and a scalding hot shower...later laid in the dark praying for oblivion. I got it. I dreamt of a mashed potato / bubble bath fight in our old barn, with random people from my life? Lee & Josh were there. Funny. I woke up pain free, and able to use the bathroom with no troubles. A happy ending.

Mark is gone to work. There was a voicemail on my phone from Michael that he left on his way to work. He watched 2 more episodes of Firefly ("The Message" & "Heart of Gold"), which leaves him with only 1 more episode ("Objects in Space") and the movie ("Serenity"). Nice. I'll see him tonight, most likely. He's going with me and Mark to my dentist appointment tomorrow morning - very early in the morning.

I find last night's Doctor Who to be very haunting. I'm not tempted to watch it again as it's obviously Part I of a much larger story and it seems odd, feels wrong to watch it without the rest of the narrative. But I'm haunted by the prophecies from "Planet of the Dead" and "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, Part II". Who will knock 4 times? And what is "The Gate"? And what will the ending of last night's special mean for the remaining time we have with the 10th Doctor? The next special, which has not been named yet (though it's been revealed it will be 6 words long) is 60 minutes in length, while it's sequel ("The End of Time") will be 75 minutes long.

About "The Gate": the Trickster said to the Doctor: "Who are you, a man who has lost everybody, to talk to me of loneliness when The Gate is waiting for you?"

Russel T. Davies, the current show runner has been quoted twice by the Radio Times as mentioning The Gate:

"But oh, what a Christmas that's going to be. Let's just say that dark forces are gathering already. The Gate is waiting and life will never be the same again..."

&

"The Master's return is just the start of our biggest, most heart-breaking story yet. The Immortality Gate is waiting."

Hmmmmmmmm.

I'm going to eat.
