Holy Cow!
It's 2 AM here in the east. I've been up for about 2 hours. I think I'm OK now. Kinda looking for this post to be a reality check for me tomorrow or someday.
I've been doing Physical Therapy for some back and hip pain and my doc subscribed Methocarbamol muscle relaxer to help the pain and make the PT more effective.
I took one of the 500mg pills this afternoon. I went to bed about 10PM (EDIT: looking at my Fitbit it appears I actually went to bed at 8PM.)
So sometime - about 12 PM as far as I can ascertain, I think I woke up and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water.
I couldn't find my way back to the bedroom.
I don't know if I was having a dream or if I was awake and so fcked up I no longer knew my own house. Our central hall has 5 doors, one goes to the bedroom and one, a little to the right of it, is a carpeted stairway to the basement. Assuming this happened and it wasn't a dream, I somehow had the sense to know to get down on the floor and try to find my way to the bedroom. Somehow I managed to crawl down the 5 or 6 steps to the landing on the stairway to the basement. I remember being perplexed that the floor was carpet and every where I touched there was a wall. I think that was the clue that I was on the landing to my basement and not in outer space somewhere.
I don't know how long I was down there. I normally sleep in boxers and a tee shirt but my sense at the time was that I was totally naked. When I "came to" a little later and recognized where I was, I was indeed on the landing and totally naked.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON!
It might have been the muscle relaxer, or maybe it was a bad dream. I don't know that I've ever had a dream where I took all my clothes off in the middle of the night that MrsWD wouldn't remember
. Gotta check with her in the morning.
It's been a couple of hours and I feel like I'm OK to trust going back to sleep. I'm feeling kind of happy I didn't fall down the stairs and break my neck
If this looks weird in the morning I will know whether I just had a bad dream or had a bad drug reaction that involved sleeping on the basement landing and doing a lot of typing.
