Glad to hear you're doing OK. Sounds like you had a mild reaction to the sedative. (I remember seeing three or four of everything when I first woke up and trying to talk with a mouthful of cotton. My BF at the time thought it was hysterical, too. He kept saying he was the one in the middle.

What a sweetie lil Brodie is. I'm glad he is there for you. That certainly helps.
Don't try to be a martyr. Especially for the next day or so, if you need a pill, TAKE IT!
