I've not been sleeping well. Even when I get to bed late, I don't sleep well.

Until last night. I slept like the proverbial rock from the moment my head hit the pillow until six hours later when the alarm went off. When I got off, I was still asleep on my feet, stumbling into things.

I've been that way all day. Nothing has helped -- not coffee, not taking my morning meds, not food, not sugar. I've been so out of it, I've been worried that I wasn't being responsible driving -- afraid I'd get pulled over.

I just could not understand it. It was like I was drunk.... or drugged.

After I hit my head I got to thinking back to last night. And taking my meds.

I took my meds out of the Sunday slot, since I had set it up actually on Monday. I refilled all the slots. I went and did other things, then came back... and noticed that the Sunday slot was filled and took the meds again.

I was lucky. At least one of my drugs can cause seizures in too large a dosage. And I didn't get in an accident, or run over anyone, or get hauled in for DUI.

The resident in charge says I should take half doses tonight. I still feel really drugged. I hope Ibuprofen works on the not inconsiderable pain in my face, 'cause there is no way I am taking anything stronger.

I hope I am normal and can drive by morning.

I think I am enough together to offer to help. Or at least know if I can-- so please do ask if there is something I can do. My calendar is fairly clear (just because I wanted to allow for lots of jetlag, should it happen).

Please try to take her to Stanford ER, to see about stitches? I worry that her drugged state is preventing her from getting needed care.
