# When I regained consciousness…

The title is a play on an old Royal Canadian Air Farce skit.

I have been having an adverse reaction to a new medication, which the doctor asked me to stop taking today. This reaction involves an itchy rash slowly spreading all over my skin.

Tonight I took 1.5 teaspoons of Benadryl to see if that would help.

Well, that's 3 hours of my life I won't get back from the sleep goddess.
