Going With The Flow

So now I am taking the medicine again beginning tonight and will have to be very careful getting up to ensure I don’t pass out again. My only concern is that if I get up in the middle of the night, I may not remember to rise slowly. Usually I have the problem of needing to get to the bathroom quickly and maneuver past the dogs, who have a tendency of sleeping on or near the bed in all sorts of different spots and positions.

If you hear a thud in the night, I hope it was not me :-)
