I’m totally clear headed this day. Yesterday I was dealing with a sort of jetlag or hang-over. I felt like I was 3 steps behind myself. I’ve never processed meds like other people. A common brand of OTC cold and flu medicine gets me high as a kite. I took a scary trip down Ambien lane last year. Never again. If I can’t sleep now, I just get up. These opioid pain pills I took for two days were some I had taken before with no problems. I know I didn’t overdose. My all too helpful nurse/mother/bossy pants the Lil’wrekker was on top of it. She knew exactly how many I swallowed. What worries me is this incident makes me think a sort of diabetic dementia may be starting. I know life long diabetics can have it. I also know dialysis can cause confusion. It’s scary. We’ve had a family meeting regarding it. The “great speechifier” namely: Mr.Wrekker took first prize. \*God that man can drone on😳. When I came around after I zoned out while he was talking the consensus is: I will lose even more of my freedom and privacy. I really can’t be alone. I know this. As it is now I may as well live in a glass bubble. Any of you wanna come and see a goofy woman living her life in an aquarium come on down. I may charge a nominal admission, just sayin’, I am glad to be alive and feeling stronger. Count your blessings, I always say. \*He said I made his brain boil [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bad-bad-bad/946622.md?page=1)
