Side Effects of Medication.....

So...... inspite of the soft warnings on the medication bottles, I have found the side effects of my particular meds to be uh... interesting to say the least....

here are a few random effects, in no particular order...


[1] I feel like there is a volcano going off in my upper rib cage... keep in mind, though... I AM cooking for myself.....

[2] I am regretting the fact that there is no bathroom in the basement where I sleep.....

[3] I am regretting the fact that I don't sleep well when in the basement worrying that I may not make it up to the bathroom in time...

[4] I realized that I can no longer take the stairs three at a time....

[5] I find that carpet burn on my chin from trying to go up the stairs too fast.... leaves a funny imprint.....

[6] I am rethinking the whole "Goatee" idea.....

[7] I am ALSO rethinking the whole diaper idea.....

[8] My mattress is too heavy to move upstairs ... by myself....

[9] I am dreaming like CRAZY.... dreamed I was back living in my parents basement again...

oh wait.... that part is true... never mind!

[10] I find myself quite punchy... pity the next telemarketer who calls.... in fact, pity the last THREE that called... ugh!


[11] I have a whole new appreciation for Winnie the Pooh.. who said, and I quote...

"I've got a Rumbly in my Tumbly"

[12] I have not been this dizzy since going on that one ride at the Paris Fair...

[13] I am not GOING to the paris fair this year..... I'm going to take 3 of these pills, go up and sit outside my bathroom and just HANG ON FOR THE RIDE....

[14] I find myself quite LOOPY.... borderline STUPID......

[15] I have realized that when UNDER the influence of strong medication, the kitchen is no place for me.....

[16] the bathroom is.... I'm just saying....

[17] I have realized that when attempting to cook and bake when on medication.... well... I shouldn't....

[18] I have realized that when making pancakes, one should not go to the basement to finish his blog....

[19] I have realized that smoke indeed DOES make the smoke detectors go off....

[20] I have realized that the batteries are good in both my smoke detectors....

[21] I have realized that the electric hand mixer... does not go in the fridge....

[22] I have realized that my memory is not what it was.. 10 minutes ago!

[23] I have realized that my memory is not ... ok, never mind....

I am thankful that in spite of the above.... my leg appears to be back to normal.... the swelling and pain are gone... the "spot" where the clot is, is still there, but not warm or painful..

I have a follow up ultra sound ( NOT FOR THE BABY Kimberlee!! ) on friday afternoon...

so then... on that note.... I'm going to meander upstairs, and wait in the living room for the next onslought of Winnie Pains...

ttfn!
