Somehow I found myself enthralled in an article about anti-nausea medications at 6:00 am this morning. What triggered it was an article about “Twilight Sleep” which was an option used for women in the early 1900’s for “painless childbirth”. They would give the women a cocktail of morphine and scopalamine, then give them ear plugs and a cloth for their eyes. The medication causing an amnesia mixed with the stimuli blockers would prevent memories of childbirth from being formed.
Women would get the cocktail and then perceive that they wake up to the baby. No memories of pain, or anything else.
Scopalamine and morphine were two drugs that pulsed through Ethan’s veins. Scopalamine was an anti-nausea patch Ethan had behind his ear.
Hmmm…scopalamine causes an amnesia effect. Interesting. It was used with two other anti-nausea medications for Ethan. Ethan remembers some things but not others. It was an interesting rabbit hole first thing in the morning.
It was chilly this morning. It is getting to the point in the year where we will have to take the fan out of the window soon. It has been brisk the last couple mornings.
After work, Paul and I did our chores for a bit and then gathered on the couch. I put a show on. It’s called “The Rookie”. We have been watching it. It sucked Paul in tonight. He was at the edge of his seat, eyes glued to the TV. Mouth open and I gently watching. He is funny.
Ethan put out a You tube video. He hasn’t done that in a couple years.
Yay! Tomorrow is Friday!
