Well the morning started out rough. I feel straight to sleep but woke at 4am. At 5:45 they came in to hook up the iv fluids. Thoday they were pink, not sure what was in there. Then at 6:30 they came by with meds. By breakfast I was a zombie. The others here assured me it was normal and they will start to taper the meds soon, but wow, I was drugged to the teeth. I cam back after breakfast to rest some and then at 10 the doctors make their daily rounds, they came to check on me and gave me a questionnaire the MMPI-2 which consists of 370 questions!!!! I got started on that but it is taking me a while due to me having some problems with some words in Italian that I have never seen/heard. I've marked a few questions I need clarification on.
I just had lunch, the food is not bad. I like that we have assigned seats so there is no awkwardness of trying to find a seat when maybe groups have already formed. Now in a half hour is the alcohol group meeting with the psychologist. After that I'll meet for my private meeting with the psychologist. Then there is another group meeting, not alcohol specific, but just basic life skills, emotions, stuff like that. They postponed my next iv until after all that so I could be more clear headed. I told them I was feeling very drugged and fell out of bed this morning.
One thing that is making me feel very good is that the other people here are very friendly and welcoming and every single one of them has said the psychologist who specialises in alcohol is absolutely amazing. Everyone loves her and has said that she has helped them so much.
Feeling very groggy, but good.
