Whoa! What a ride I have been on!

It all started with a doctor's appt on Monday. I am still suffering from Ruby Red Rusheroos and I saw my GP in regards to this. My good ol' doc thinks that it is just my usual irritable bowel syndrome acting up, but because of the numerous attacks and etc., I was put on some medication and have been booked for a follow up visit in Feb. (Ugh, I better be back to "normal" by then, or else I get the ol' colon cam visit - which will *not* be put on youtube!)

On Tuesday I began to develop adverse side effects to one of the medications that I was prescribed. If what I went through on Tuesday/Wednesday is comparable to a heroin/crack withdrawal - I feel for the people who go through that process.

So, I left work very suddenly on Tuesday (according to one of my co-workers who just came into my office to tease me) and went for a long walk to try and clear my head. (I never did end up back at the office) I visited my doctor, who took me off of the one medication that was causing the symptons. I then spent Tuesday night having a weird glass paranoia. I slept all day Wednesday and am back to work today.

According to our VP, with whom I left a cracked up message on Wednesday, I have a new nickname: just call me Margot Kidder.

Ugh.

In other news: I hate the LRT. Maybe it is still because I am going through drug withdrawals and I am very restless, but waiting at a station for 10 minutes so that EMS can clear up the daily "emergency" at the crack LRT station almost took me over the edge. Maybe until I am completely clear of this drug, I should just hang out at that LRT station with my brothers and sisters.

Ok, I gotta get back to work - somehow...

I Margot over for dinner once. It was a lovely evening until she threw a chair thru the living room window and ran down into the Deerfoot valley chasing rabbits (which was actually a freight train).

Lovely woman though. Just be wary when she takes too many of the red pills.

From Florida to snow shoes? I'm game.
