I Survived NyQuil

Happy to report that I survived NyQuil.  The forums were right...it put me O.U.T. and fast, but I didn't dump with it.  Been a DayQuil day every 4 hours, though it wears off before that time.  My hands are dry from all the washing and sanitizing.  Looking forward to more NyQuil tonight.

CME has it too.  We are pretty pitiful.  But we're pitiful together.

Going Out on a Limb

The sickies have definitely hit our house.  Though the boys are better, CME and I are both fighting colds.  My go-to for colds was always Nyquil.  Now the thought of taking it has me a bit on edge.  I've Googled and checked forums.  I even got out my binder of information given to me right before surgery.  I found one little line that says, "Remember all over the counter medications like cold/cough syrups should be sugar and alcohol free."  Of course I know this, but Nyquil usually is the only thing that would help me at night.  Comments from the forum indicate that most have not dumped from it, but that it knocks them out quickly...I suspect from the alcohol.  

Tomorrow I'm going to call bariatric center and ask for suggestions.  Until that time, I'm going out on a limb...tonight I'm taking Nyquil.  Wish me luck!

Lost the Insulation

An unexpected change since weight loss is that I am often cold.  As I sit here typing right now, my hands are like ice cubes.  I have a throw in my lap at work most days.  I've "borrowed" the heating pad from CME's side of the bed and like it on my feet at night. I use to be the person who wouldn't wear a coat unless the temps were in the teens or less.  Now, I am cold.  I guess with the extra weight came extra insulation.
