Finally got knocked on my...

well, you know what it's called! LOL



And no, I don't mean by someONE--that really would be a news flash! But as most of you that hang out with me know, I have a really high tolerance level for drugs and alcohol. And I don't mean that I'm a drughead or an alkie but I take after my mom in that things just don't affect me the way they do most people. I have to take FOUR Advils to get rid of a headache and sometimes that's not even enough.



Back in the days when I would drink a lot, I could drink my dad (who is a rather big man) under the table. And I've always been able to walk away from it all (for years at a time) whenever I felt like I wanted to or needed to. So when you hear me talk about having a glass of wine or a margarita, please know, it's probably like water for you!



Same is true for pain meds when I have surgeries. First of all, I cannot take Lortab at all--they do nothing to touch the pain, make me nauseous and make me ITCH to death! Actually most narcotic "pain" medication makes me itch. Maybe it's the codeine? But whenever I get put on something, I also have to take a benadryl to avoid scratching my skin off!



Yesterday, around lunchtime I took my two prescribed percocets along with my benadryl and went to physical therapy. I had a GREAT session--everything felt great and I was really encouraged by my progress that seems so much quicker this time.



So I get home, it's around six thirty (more than enough time for me to have more med), I have some dinner, my two percocets with my benadryl but also because it's almost time for bed and at bedtime I take three prozac, a requip and half an atavan (which I actually left off last night, PTL!) I took my "nighttime cocktail" too.



Within an hour, I was flat on my back! LOL Whoa! First time that's EVER happened to me! Guess I better make more time between the nightime feeding and the bedtime cocktail next time! LOL



But I'm up and at 'em this morning...feeling good, drinking my coffee and wondering what I'm gonna do today...and tonight! Happy New Year!
