Yesterday we got up early, five AM! Yikes...I haven't been up that early since I was at my worst with my swallowing problem. Then I would go to bed as early as I could, because I was so hungry and thirsty, I wanted to sleep my life away. But since recovering (thank you Lord) we have gotten into the habit of staying up until one or two AM  and then sleeping in until ten AM. Not a good habit. We're sleeping these beautiful mornings away!
I had an appt to get a laser on my old mug. Drove all the way to the doctors office in St Louis, all to find out he didn't want to do it, because I had a blister on my lip. I have had one cold sore my entire life and it was years and years ago when I had it. This blister, I am sure was caused by the dental impressions. It took the girl three tries to get it right, I was freaking out! Anyway, the gunk she used to make the impressions was like a clay texture, and she got it all over my lips, even some on my cheeks and face! I had to scrub it off, which is what i think caused the blister. Whatever, the doctor told me if I were to have the laser done yesterday, there was a chance that I could get those blisters all over my entire face. I told him I want to look better, not worse. He left it up to me, and I nixed it. I am not happy with my dentist!! I go back in a few weeks for the laser. Actually, it's three sessions. Spread out over about three months time. One a month?
From getting up so early, and taking my meds so early, I took an extra dose of the lorezepam later in the afternoon. Not a good idea. I fell asleep at five in the afternoon. When Pat woke me up three hours later, at eight PM, I thought it was eight AM, the next morning! I was in a state of total confusion. Almost took my meds again thinking it was a new day. That would not have been good! When I went back to our bed to go to sleep again, the bedroom was spinning! I felt like I used to feel when I was drunk! I am guessing it had to have been caused from the extra lorezepam. I have got to get off this medicine! I hate taking it and I hate feeling so wiped out all the time.
Today we're going to the casino with Dave. Tomorrow to the lake with Kate and her gang. Then Monday Kate and the kids will be here for a few days and nights while Chris is in Chicago on business. I'm looking forward to that! It will be like a slumber party with the grandkids!
