Documenting Pill Effects and Yoga

July 6, 2008 · 1 Comment

Friday – first day on lots of pills (10): headache. Fell asleep with the mild headache and it was still there in the morning. No nausea, as some report. Lucky me.

Saturday – day two. (12) Headache came and went. It was mild.  I was very down and had zero energy. I slept.  I went for a long bike ride with Sylvain in the sun, and then I went back to bed and slept some more. I got up for supper and retired early so as to be able to rise early for yoga on Sunday (class meets at 10:00 but I like to be early).  Felt good to give myself permission to sleep, minimal pangs of guilt over “how it looks” to other household members.

Sunday – day three. (14) Awoke at 7:00 feeling very refreshed. Did not need alarm clock. Ate breakfast before shower so tummy would be settled by time for yoga. Left house very early, did stretches in Mackenzie Hall parking lot.  Yoga class was comfortable, nothing especially scary. Need to tell instructor that I’m hard of hearing, though.  Called Sylvain on his cell phone and we met at Ojibway Park for a pinic and long walk in the woods. Studying the wildflowers was fun.
