I'm doing some research for my Capstone project and other assignments. My next discussion question is due Tuesday at 0600. As I have both work and a social engagement on Monday, I'm getting a leg-up on the work. This is actually going to be one of the last four Saturday nights that I'll be spending doing schoolwork. It's a little bittersweet.
Unfortunately, I can't print any of my journal articles to read, as the printer is located in the little one #2's room, and he went to bed early because he was a crabby monster. The lavender oil in the bath did help tame him.
My procedure went well. Some discomfort, no complications. I get the results in two weeks.
I was brought home and passed out. I apparently woke up to feed and surf the web before passing out again. I have zero tolerance for benzodiazepines because I never take them: I only take them pre-operatively or pre-flight. I don't like them, I don't trust them. So much so that when my doctor wanted to prescribe an anxiolytic to help with some severe anxiety issues, I requested Vistaril. Vistaril does not do much for severe anxiety...but to me, it was better than popping Xanax.
Anyhow, the next morning, I still had the Valium hangover...I'm not surprised though. The half-life of diazepam is about 60 hours, meaning that it'd take 2.5 days to just get 50% of it out of my system. For it to be considered fully metabolized, that takes four half-lives...in this case, 240 hours or 10 days.
I've kept the prescription bottle should I have to do a random UDS any time soon. It's not likely, but you never know.
