4. I am very distracted.

I take Coumadin, a blood thinner. Tonight, I took 10 mg instead of 7.5. I will have to take none tomorrow. It is a potentially dangerous drug. Heck, all the drugs I take are potentially dangerous, except for the thyroid replacement. I can't imagine an overdose of that doing much harm.

About five years ago, I sleepwalked, went to the kitchen about 2:00 a.m., and took all the pills for the following day! I called the ambulance that time. I figured that if my husband drove me to the emergency room and my heart stopped before we got there, he would not have known how to help. He would have felt guilty for my mistake.

I have not done anything like that in my sleep since that time. Of course, I am healthier now, five years into managing Graves Disease.

I will be very careful, and I know that the wedding will be great. Thanks for your good thoughts.
