Your profound caring for Johnny is not unnoticed by Heaven.

I pray this 'peace which passes our understanding' come to you and envelop you tonight.

Prayers for you and Johnny are continuing.

something positive. All I can think of is him laying there in a hospital bed alone.
Thank you for caring. I’m just a weak mess at the moment!

I pretty much always have a supply of doxylamine succinate for just those occasions.

That's the antihistamine in the more-expensive sleep aids at the drug store ... Unisom has a formulation with it, CVS and Walgreens also have house-brands with it.

Although they all also have one w/the far-inferior sleep inducer diphenhydramine aka Benadryl as the active ingredient.

That latter drug is ... unreliable. You take the doxy's, you're going nightie-night.

I mean, unless you're on stimulants.

Then you need xanax

Hours a night. Exceptionally hard times right now.
It bad when you can’t get out of your own head.

Note that if I didn't insert the spoiler "x" in the address, it would just show the video screen again and not the link.

When you see a video shown on DU you want the link for, point at the video screen and right click, then click on "copy video URL" or "copy link location", then paste (control + V) the link into your browser web address window and press "enter". That should take you directly to the video web page.

You, my dear samplegirl, are a person who has great love that you put into action. Now is the time to give yourself the self the love and care you give to others. You are a warm, wonderful person who needs tp focus on your needs for a while. My prayer for you is that you find peace in the knowledge that you give great joy to others. Take care of you, and let us continue to support you as we continue praying for you and JohnnyRingo.
