Daylight Savings Time Blues!
Hi to one & all: Just a note to remind you to exercise caution when you make the adjustment from DST to Standard time...I learned the hard way! I woke up at my usual 3am when it was really 2am so I had an extra hour before I took my first meds. I usually take my first pills at 5 but with the time change, I tried to wait until 6 but I started to shake so badly and my teeth were rattling out of my head (perfect for Halloween but I'm a week early for that!) so I ended up taking them around -ah heck, you get the idea...anyway, my whole day was off, my meds were off, my body was bouncing around like a pin-ball! This all culminated when my friend came to visit; I was so excited & got up & bounced around the couch & KER-SPLATT, Batman-I slammed into the wall (who put a stupid wall there?) & split my head open. Fortunately, my husband was right there & got me to the ER where I got a tetanus shot & 5 stainless steel staples. My head is used to taking the brunt of my bumps-the male nurse nearly had a stroke when he went looking thru my hair & ran across a hole from one of my pallidotomies! Needless to say, my arm is sore from the shot & my head hasn't ached like this since I was last fit with a halo! No halo this time-just a dunce cap for forgetting how powerful & potent my drugs are!!
