Oh, so that's what happens when...

.

That's right boys and girls, even Doom can o.d.  Oh, you know better than to think I did it on anything... untoward.  I don't even consider smoking anything but an occasional cigarette.  And then I'm not exactly... overwhelmed with joy about it.  Yeah, sure, sometimes a fifth or a case has been known to slip down my gullet, but this is different.  While up and early, I think I took my medicines.  With an appointment with the doc tomorrow so a push to make sure, with my medicine set being off on days due to hits and misses in taking it, then with the disturbance of my mother here so that when she took her medicine it triggered me to take my medicine (again as it turns out), I doubled my dose.  Worse?  I took yesterday evenings dose, then duplicated that as well.  I took two full days of medicine in one fell two hour period.

Wouch.  I don't know that I would call myself graceful, unless you consider that I am overweight.  But with the weight I do have on my thick bones, I keep a pretty soft touch to the ground.  I lost that.  Having three hundred pounds of stumbling bull rumbling around frightened even my mother.  I think she feared more for herself and the furniture, she knows that I won't get hurt, mostly.  It is what I feared.  To top it off, I was nearing stall angle.  My eyes kept trying to roll back into my head.  I've only passed out a few times in my life legitimately.  I know that feeling though.  And I felt like warmed over death.  It's a brotherly thing.  SHE told me to go lay down.  I meekly complied.

Four hours later I'm back up but still feeling rough.  I may have a fever going on.  I definitely have a weird headache thing.  I'm almost afraid to take it, but I think some aspirin is required.  I don't know if it will help the feverishness but, something has to be taken.  Ugh...  And, no, I wasn't trying to escape the "broom".  And if I were, I wouldn't do it this way.  Besides, we are almost done.  Just this room remains.  And tomorrow we make a run to the doctor, so I knew I had some time off coming.  And more, I wanted to be done and to help.  Oh, this is wretched.  Don't do this at home, kiddies.  Just don't.

  1. Hellboy Doom! Uh oh, now you are in trouble since I used both your names .. Well, the ones that I know of anyway.
    And that would perhaps explain your musical choices in your previous post. I did love them though. Queen is a favorite.
    But you MUST monitor your pill taking better. I'm mentally shaking my finger at you. I've forgotten my bp meds a time or two.. Not fun. I've accidentally taken them twice .. Definitely not fun. So, don't scare us like this again.

    Ok, now that my rant is over, I hope you metabolize what is on your system quickly. Feel better soon, okay? Hope your doctor visit goes well.

  2. Oh, never worry about THAT. Initially, when I came back to faith, it was... a duty... to live. Now? Even on my darkest days, life is a joy, somewhere deep down inside. Even when I accidentally o.d. Life isn't the ONLY thing, and I would trade it for the right things, but I could never even try to throw it away.

    Yeah, I'm working on it. Or my body is. What a horrible mistake though.
