The Ballad of Tramadol
We can add another drug to the list of things I should never take again. I was supposed to have a tooth extracted on Thursday, but it turns out that I freak out so much, they have to put me under. In the meantime, since it’ll be a week before they can go in and get the tooth, the dentist gave me Tramadol, which my mom thinks is hilarious because my dog takes the same thing for his achy joints. It turns out my dog handles it much better than I do.
Anyway, after taking a couple of doses the night before, I woke up yesterday feeling dizzy, but I figured once I got some food into my stomach, I’d feel better. I made it as far as Subway before I realized that, no, the fact that merely sitting up is making me nauseated and sweaty, that’s probably a bad thing. So I crawled back into bed and just proceeded to ignore the world. My mom came over to take care of me and spent most of the afternoon napping on the recliner while I napped on the couch.
At about eight o’clock, we had the tornadoes hit our area, knocking out the power for eleven hours. Mom couldn’t make it back home across the bridge, so she stayed with us. I was beginning to feel better at that point, but not up to optimal standards, so despite sleeping for hours during the day, I slept all night, and now I think the worst of it has passed. Ugh. No more of that for me.
So, yeah, did not get any work, writing, or anything else done yesterday. Though I did get to spend the day in bed, feeling like the room was moving around me! Go me!
