How to Die Like Elvis

Posted by S. Howard on November 25, 2000, at 12:01:03

Well here I am back from the hospital finally. I wound up there out of sheer stupidity. I'm such a big pill-head from so far back, sometimes I don't pay attention to everything I'm taking. I take pills for depression, insomnia, and hypertension. Sometimes I take painkillers, if I'm having a painful day. Occasionally I'll drink alcohol along with all the meds. Smart, huh?
I just figured my tolerance was so high, I probably couldn't OD if I tried.
Wrong! Last Sunday night I was changing sheets on the bed, and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor talking to a paramedic. I had passed out cold, hit my head, nearly bit my tongue in half, probably had a seizure. I couldn't remember my age or a bunch of other things they asked me. Worst of all, I scared my husband and son badly. I felt like such a jackass.
I had to stay in the hospital for three days while they ran tests, and I'm still on soft foods. And NOW I'm supposed to be taking Dilantin (sp?) for seizures. More pills! I haven't decided whether to take it yet,
I don't think I need it.
So WHAT has been happening on this board??
