OK...about 6:45 yesterday morning I heard my husband "running" across the bedroom to the bathroom. I was thinking "Holy $#!* What is wrong with him?" I was getting out of bed to check and the next thing I heard was BAM and "OH GOD!" Not a good thing, as tile doesn't make for a great cushion when one's head meets it! He could not get up and I couldn't get him up either! We finally managed it... He had a giant goose egg on his head with a bit of blood. He refused to let me take him to the ER. I was afraid he had a concussion, so I kept him awake and talking. He didn't remember how he got to the bathroom, so that worried me.
He is terribly hard to understand in the morning. He kept saying bat. So, I assumed he meant he felt like he had been hit by a baseball bat! Finally, I understood he thought there was a bat (the mammal) after him! He has sleep walked before, so I assumed he was having a nightmare about vampires or something. He was very insistent that there was a bat after him!
I tried to tell him he was sleep walking, but he was adamant about the "bat attack." I seriously thought he was developing dementia. But, overnight dementia seemed a bit strange.
Sooo....about the time (dusk) when bats come out, lo and behold, there is a freaking bat flying in our living room! He is losing it! I never knew he was deathly afraid of bats! He's in his recliner with his comforter yelling at me to get the bat! We have a cathedral ceiling! I got a broom and tried to get the bat. Its' gliding ever so effortlessly around the living room and I'm thinking it is really a beautiful creature in flight. I've got all the doors open to get the animal out. It dive bombs my husband twice! I told him to put his comforter over his head and not to worry! I finally ushered the bat out of the house!
Yes! I did LMAO! I couldn't help it. My husband is the bravest man I've ever known. I guess nightmares surface sometimes when you least expect it.
He told me the bat flew in his face and was after him! Now I believe him! LOL I haven't laughed this hard in almost 4 years! Thank you Lord!
