I'm on Drugs...

My parents are here visiting - and have been here for a week, with another week to go. They are helping with the laundry, cooking, and child care. Today, they are out with Finnegan at the pumpkin patch :) I'll post photos tomorrow.

But yesterday, they took a trip to Walmart without the kids, leaving me at home with both of them. I haven't taken pain medication in a few days and was feeling pretty sore, especially at my incision, so I took two ibprofen when I woke up. About 2 hours later, I was still feeling pretty sore, so I decided that I could take some of the pain meds that I was given in the hospital. So I took 2 (the normal dose I'd taken for the past two weeks). I'd already eaten breakfast, so I wasn't really concerned about my stomach. As the medication began to break down in my system, I began to feel funny... I couldn't bend over and talk to Finnegan without having this weird feeling in my stomach. I was getting a bit light headed, and then found that I was just feeling really weird. I thought perhaps I should call my parents back to the house, but wasn't really sure... Then it hit me... I ate breakfast over 2 hours before, so there really was NOTHING in my stomach to help metabolize the powerful drugs. So Finnegan and I sat and ate a banana together and waited for Mana and Papa to return.

Later in the evening, right before dinner, I took two more (knowing that I needed to eat something too). So I ate something and took them... but I still had the same result. I felt loopy and like I didn't really care about much. Just really out of it. It was the weirdest feeling and I didn't like it!!

So today, before mom and dad left with Finnegan, they reminded me NOT to take the pain meds and stick with Ibuprofen.
