I had a small procedure done yesterday which required me to take a Valium and a Percocet. I got to the doctor’s office and had to wait a long time in the waiting room, they messed up on the schedule. The nurse finally came out and said it would be about another 30 minutes, I was feeling just a little light headed and asked Bryan if he wanted to go somewhere instead of waiting. He said No I am not going to leave you in this condition. I was just fine I didn’t think the medicine was going to work. Well about 5 minutes later I start getting very nauseas and I can’t open my eyes. I was barely breathing, sweat was pouring down my face and just wanted to be out of there. I managed to tell Bryan that I needed to lay down. He went and talked to the receptionist and soon I was being led through the waiting area with everyone looking at me and I am sure wondering, what happened to her. I got to a room where I laid down and several nurses descended on me. My blood pressure was about 90/40. They found every pillow in the office and propped them under my knees and said DO NOT GET UP. Don’t worry I wasn’t going anywhere. After 10 minutes or so I started to feel much better. Soon my nurse came to get me and move me to another room where my doctor asked if I would be O.K. to go ahead with the procedure. Oh yes, I have made it this far let’s get it done. So everything went fine until it was time for me to sit up and leave. It took another 10 minutes on the bed and then slowly convincing myself that I would be better once I got home in my own bed. I know Bryan drove me home, but that is all I know. I had thought he could go back to work once I was home and Brandon and Jacob could help me with Jonah. HA, I was completely out of it until 6:00 p.m. when I made myself get up and walk around. Luckily the pain was never bad so I didn’t have to take another Percocet.
I know that Morphine and Lortab do these same things to me and now I know not to take Valium and Percocet together! Really it is a good thing I am not an addict!

Yup it is a good thing you aren't a druggie! No wonder you were knock out...those two things together. Love ya but stay away from drugs!
As Mike and I laid in bed last night eating lemon cake, (he LOVED that it was heavy.) I thought what a SCHMUCKY friend I am that the day after YOU have a medical procedure done, YOU are fixing ME cake! You must be a better friend than me-oh well.
