I told you so!

Too bad it is not me that was doing the telling! As it turns out I thought I did not need to take claritin before I went to bed. Now it is really important to understand that claritin is used to curb side effects of a drug called neulasta which is given to keep white counts high. It can also cause a bunch of pain, but if you take the claritin it is magical and the pain is well managed. I would say that the pain is what I imagine David Banner feels when he turns into the Hulk. Neulasta makes bone marrow go into hyperdrive to make a bunch of little white cells which just make your bones ache.

So, Craig says to me, don't you think you should take the claritin? I thought, nah, plus I don't want to go and get it. I will just sleep and take it in the morning.

Wrong-o! Big mistake! I think that the pain actually woke me up around 4:00 am. I have discovered that Law and Order Special Victims Unit is on that early in the morning, which is awesome. I have also discovered that our couch is crap. We totally need a new one that doesn't have a bunch of butt dents in it because I cannot sleep on that thing.
