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!
lol…”sleeping in a puddle of urine”…that’s what i will remember most from this post…
it reminds me of when my dad was still alive…he all these different kinds of painkillers for various procedures he had that…but he didnt take any because he just drank himself into oblivion and didnt want to mix the two (so he says)…anyhow, he always kept offering the pills to me because of my migraines and i took a few not paying attention to the mg on the bottle…they were TWICE what i had taken before…i ended up in a closet and “swimming” on the kitchen floor much to little cg’s humor…never felt so loopy in my life! lol

That reminds me of Amsterdam when I spent an hour laughing continuously at an Italian restaurant, and couldn’t comprehend what people were saying. Whatever weed they have there really fucks you up.
oh man, one of my greatest fears is pissing myself while under some influence! how was his recovery from that?
LOL, glad you are back to writing again!
Ah, it’s good to see you back and still providing humorous stories for us!
Good to see you back! I hope you tease your cousin for a long time about this one.
I’m glad you haven’t lost your mojo! And I’m glad you’re back – I’ve always enjoyed your stories.
