On Thursday I had the foggiest day I can remember ever. I had to work and I had a therapy appt in the afternoon that day. I had gone to bed early with the thought that it was going to be a bit of a challenge for me because Leah wanted her hair done that day also. I thought work went smoothly except I didn't feel like myself at all. I was having trouble the whole time, I think even Charlie and Ernie noticed because they were not talking too much to me.
Then I drove home and felt like I was in a fog, and so very tired. I was very thankful to get home. I got home and still felt odd, then I took Leah to get her hair done, I still felt weird and tried to explain it to her. I did a couple of things and then went to therapy and talked about how foggy I was feeling. I couldn't come up with it and either could she. I couldn't remember ever feeling like this before. I then went grocery shopping with Leah and was just starting to feel better. I finally got us home, got ready for bed and got up easily the next morning and felt "normal" again. I was still at a loss as to understand where the "fog" had come from.
Today I think I finally figured it out! I think I took the wrong medicine, I took the "sleeping"pill and not the "happy pill" that morning. They look so similar and unless I was paying attention I could have done that easily. My therapist would talk to me about how I could be certain I didn't do this again. I am going to write on the tops of my meds to keep them straight.
It's my goal to get off the meds but they help me a lot for now. My prayer is that I can get my life under control enough that I don't need them. If I think about it I could be on lots more meds and be in a bigger fog all of the time. I'm chalking it up to a learning experience and I don't think it will happen again. I'm honestly very tired of learning but I guess that's going to be the "new" me now.
