PILL AND POTIONS - THE FLOOR AND ME

I was really unwell this morning.  Some tablets given to me earlier in the week were the culprits.  I tumbled out of bed, visited the bathroom and dehydrated rapidly. Me and the floor suddenly made contact.  I did not know which end of me was where. Hubby's soothing voice broke into my fuzz and his strong arms  lifted me off the floor.  I was almost insensible.  I remember a feeling of minimal consciousness.  Only after the crisis had passed and my wits had started to revive,  did I realise what a horrible experience it was, and how lucky I was to have hubby at home to help me.

The first thing to do was to get some fluid into me to re-hydrate myself, then get to speak with the doctor.  He was alarmed to hear my tale and the moment I showed him the offending box of pills, he politely confiscated the box, saying he would dispose of the prescription.
