Good morning, I think, as my days flip flopped again!

On Friday night, my husband accidentally hurt my foot, possibly breaking my big toe.  He wanted to take me to the ER, but I had just started coloring my hair.  I talked him into waiting a while to reassess.  Meanwhile,  I took my pain meds.

It's really weird that a bolus of 4 Advils makes me sleepy whereas my Percocet doesn't affect me.  Then, I started having problems with my blood pressure being too low, like 80s/40s.  Again, he threatened the ER, but I just wanted to lay down, and he relented.

I ended up sleeping all day!!  I started my day on Saturday around 5:00 PM, and errands plus a supermarket trip using a bumpy mobility cart did me in.  I couldn't finish getting all the groceries I wanted, but I did get the important stuff.  Even in a mobility cart, I just couldn't go any further.

So we went home, put away groceries, and I took another pain pill and more advil.  I fell asleep again!!  My husband comes into the bedroom around 4:30 AM, irritated that he forgot to take a required picture for one of our mystery shops at the supermarket.  I offered to go with him, and then we got the picture and went to IHOP.

He had an omelet, and I had fried chicken with corn.  I had been wanting fried chicken, and this really hit the spot.  I also had their bottomless coffee, with lots of cream.  I must have had at least 4 cups!!!

Then, we went home and finished the shop reports.  My husband finally laid down to sleep.  I am now lying in bed next to him, using my smartphone to read/post.  I am wide awake and raring to go, of course, lol.

Oh and during our errands, I did a good bit of driving.  I even drove on my own to go to McDonald's drive thru.  This was the first drive thru I navigated / first time driving alone since my head injury.  I did it, yippee!!!!!
