My grandmother is in the late stages of Alzheimers. While wifey and I were visiting her with my cousin, her nurse was talking to us about they way they are cycling through medications trying to find the magic balance to keep her calm yet not comatose. The nurse commented that one particular medicine seemed to cause a trance like state so they were discontinuing it. We chatted a bit longer and then we left. Later, over a beers at my cousins, he slid several of the pills out of his pocket and asked if I were up to it, for old times sake. I thought about it for a second (of course the wife was not there!) and said what the hell. We each popped one and after an hour of XBox, I felt nothing but a little sluggish.
After a while the controller got kind of heavy and I thought i was talking but I don’t think I was. I looked over at my cousin and he was sitting slack in his chair with a goofy smile on his face, it was awesome!! He could talk, but only very slowly, I preferref not to talk cause it was too hard. We just sat there making goofy eyes at each other for a while and then I dozed off. I woke up a few hours later to a tv show called “White Collar” (Tiffany Amber Theissen is still hot!). I found myself none worse for wear, my cousin however had pissed his pants and was still sleep in a puddle of urine, thank god i’ve been cutting back on the beer!
