Show Me The Way To The Next Whiskey Bar!!
So, it’s official. I’m fine, it seems…I can’t begin to explain how strange it is for me to not pop pills anymore. I mean, it’s definitely a relief, but its weird cos my usual nightly ritual has been:
1) Brush teeth
2) Wash face
3) Make bed
4) Locate pills that have invariably been misplaced (visit 24 hour pharmacy to pick them up, much to my irritation)
5) Inwardly grumble and curse pharmaceutical companies that use tedious-to-tear foil, while unwrapping each pill painfully
6) Swallow each of the 5 pills one at a time, each one the size of Madhya Pradesh, cos I’m scared I’ll choke
7) Climb into bed
8) Get out of bed 20 minutes later just as I’m falling asleep cos I need to pee because of all the water I’ve had to drink in order to swallow the pills
Steps 4 to 8 have been effectively done away with.. Woo hoo!
It’s a big difference, trust me.
It’s gonna take a while for my body to adjust itself to the sudden deprivation of 2850 mgs of chemicals a day. I can almost sense all the neurotransmitters gearing themselves every night, for the onslaught that hasn’t happened these past few days. But you know what? Even with all the tremors and strange withdrawal symptoms, I’m just so much happier.
Thank you to everyone who:
a) Reminded me to take my meds everyday
b) Held my hand during blood tests and accompanied me for x-rays and scans
c) Held out their hands when I FINALLY managed to cough up a sputum sample but had nowhere to spit (yes, this actually happened! I counted 3 pairs of hands.)
d) Drove me to pharmacies in the middle of the night
e) Wrestled bottles of alcohol away from me when I succumbed to temptation
f) Pretended to be sober just so I wouldn’t feel alone
g) Gave me (drunken) lectures on how alcohol is really truly not as fun as it may seem
h) Broke my cigarettes into little pieces when I tried smoking slyly in the first few months of being sick
i) Put up with my extreme mood swings and bouts of self-pity
j) Convinced me that I’m not turning into a horribly cranky person and that it’s just the pills talking
k) Cheered like their favourite team just won the world cup each time the reports that came back were good.
And Ms. Tartrazina - thank you for the best fugging martini I have ever had!!
Anyway, from now on and henceforth, there will be no more talk of health-related issues on this blog.
This chapter is now closed!

those were good acts of friendship you listed in the latter part of the post. i'd imagine (because i don't know) being sober (or far less drunk) in the midst of sloshed mates at a pub is fuggin torture. i hope it isn't cos i must seriously attempt it sometime. a matter of time.
welcome back to good health. And STay there.
Yaaaaay Now please lets get drunk sooooon Hugs

Wishfulthinker: Come on down to Bangalore and we'll celebrate.
Jax: Yup, wasn't the best time, but it's all good now. Thanks:)
Anonymous 2: Eyy!! We shall not discuss the back issue, especially since it's a result of my flat feet rather than a "health" related problem. But will take that coupon and hold you to it.
Sac: If I remember right, your hands were amongst the ones I counted, sweetly offering to collect sputum sample. Hug**
Deppe: Thank you. I intend to stay healthy.
