Writing this about an hour later than usual because I ended up needing to take my pain meds about an hour and a half early today and they made me very sleepy so I had to, once again, sleep through the time when I should have been eating and blogging.
Not one of my better sentences. Sorry. It just kept getting longer and more complicated as I wrote it.
In my defense, I am still pretty sleepy.
I’ve never had this reaction to the pain meds before. From now on, I will have to be cautious about when I take the full regimen of two Gabapentin (200mg), two Naproxen, (440 mg) and three acetaminophen (1500 mg).
The sleepiness probably came from relief, to be honest . I woke up this morning in a frightful state. Mississippi .
Ba dum tish.
Seriously though, I woke up wracked with pain from an attack of body wide muscle tension. Made me feel all wound up tight like the rubber band that spun the propeller on an old fashioned toy airplane.
So after failing to solve the issue with muscle stretches and a little light exercise, I decided to get out of bed and take some meds.
And then I pooped. Come to think of it, it was probably the combination of the meds and the pooping that made me so sleepy.
I often get sleepy after I poop. I call it the “crap and a nap” effect.
It’s from the release of muscular tension, I think.
So you combine that with the pain meds magnifying the effect and you get a sleepy Fru.
Well then. Mystery solved. Good work, everybody.
Same time next week?
More after the break.
I said, “FLOW MORPHIA SLOW”, god damn it!
Song ref. for title here.
OK, this sleepiness shit has officially gotten out of hand.
Been sleeping most of the day at this point. When I wrote Part 1, I didn’t think I was all THAT sleepy, I hadn’t been fighting sleep the whole time or anything.
But when I lay down after, I tried to play my dragon game and just couldn’t. I was nodding off over and over again, the tablet nearly falling out of my hands.
Don’t worry, it would have been fine. It would have fallen maybe an inch onto my bed.
So I shut down my game and then powered down my brain by letting sleep take me.
Woke up three hours later, thought, “That was a nice nap.”, got up and took a leak, lay back down fully intending to get back into my game, and then not even making it as far as “waking up ” my tablet before falling asleep again.
I figure that if I hadn’t needed to pee, I wouldn’t have woken up at all.
When I woke up again at around 9:30 pm, I knew I had to get out of bed to blog and eat NOW, and still it took fifteen minutes of battle with my sleepiness tp actually get out of bed and get to the computer.
And the worst part is that I had plans for today. I was going to launch a concentrated campaign to find some way to spend the money in my bank account online so I don’t have to go to the bank or buy these silly cards any more.
Guess that’ll have to wait. Dammit.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
