How In The World Do People Do Drugs?

Last night, while I was in the middle of major stomach issues, my dad brought me some phenergan.  I took 25 mg, got the kids cleaned up, and took a quick bath myself.  By the time I got out of the tub, I could not hold my eyes open.  I went to be at 8:30 pm and woke up at 9:30 am.  I had called my boss last night and told him I didn’t think work today was going to be a good idea.  He agreed.  So, I stayed in today.

Now, here’s what I’ll never understand.  How in the world do people do drugs???  I took one 25 mg Phenergan last night, and I’m still feeling the effects.  I’ve slept on and off all day today.  I am groggy, and I hate that feeling!  I’ve had strange dreams today, and I’ve mixed up yesterday and today all day long.  As a nurse, I’ve taken care of addicts more times than I care to count, so I know about the addicting power of drugs.  But I would hate to feel this way constantly!  I have to return to work tomorrow, so I hope this hazy feeling fades before then.

Thanks for all of the comments yesterday.  I’m usually not that funny, so I’m glad everyone got a kick out of that post. :-)  I got one pretty ugly comment from a stranger about how “rude I was to pass on my stomach virus just to go shopping.”  I declined to approve that comment because of the inappropriateness of some of the wording.  I like to keep our Christian blogs friendly. :-)  Believe me, I would have never gone out just to go shopping feeling that way!  Unfortunately, health care providers have to be pretty sick to get a day off!  And, if it hadn’t been for business being kind of slow right now, I would have been at work today.  It just so happened that the outlet mall had a BR close to the door and the shoe store!  He, he.

Anyway, I must get the kids cleaned up and in the bed so that I can get to sleep - AGAIN!  I have a very early day tomorrow in Evansville.  I just pray that I don’t experience deja vu!  God bless!
