The only way they could get me to drink the charcoal was to throw Mr. Leeny out of the room (he was getting agitated) and give me ginger ale to drink after every mouthful of charcoal. It's my favorite soft drink now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14762#post-342284 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:00:37 +0000 kittymom 342284@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad you came thru OK, Leeny, and had a sense of humor about the whole experience, too! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14762#post-342277 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:54:49 +0000 2bpurring 342277@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh dear!!!

It was a case of my thinking, "If a regular dose of medicine works well, even more will work better." On Mardi Gras in 2003, I was nervous and had a stomach ache because I had realized that morning that Mr. Leeny and I were going to have to file Chapter 7. So, that afternoon at my office I took more than the prescribed amounts of the nervousness and stomach upset medicines I was on at the time.</p> <p>About four hours later, the cleaning staff found me unconscious on my office floor. An ambulance was called, and the EMTs found my oxygen saturation to be at 74%. They took me to the hospital "Code 3," which means, in the ambulance driver's words, "lights, siren, and run the red lights." Mr. Leeny was at the hospital when I got there, and so was my retired former pastor--he had left the church Shrove Tuesday pancake supper for a while to come check on me (Mr. Leeny had called him). I had to drink activated charcoal and was kept 24 hours for observation.</p> <p>My pastor came to see me in the afternoon, before I was released. It was, of course, Ash Wednesday, and I, of course, was in no condition to attend the service that night. I, jokingly, told him that I had already drunk my ashes last night. He was not amused.</p> <p>So, I'd better stay away from alcohol/medication interactions this year. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14762#post-342215 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:11:13 +0000 2bpurring 342215@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh dear...that must be a good story...or a very bad one!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14762#post-342214 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:10:30 +0000 Leeny 342214@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was just there, 2bp! But no martinis. I wouldn't want to end up in the ER on Mardi Gras a second time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14762#post-342186 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:59:05 +0000 2bpurring 342186@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Time to relax Leeny!!

Aw. </p>
