Follow-Up:

Today I researched this because my husband caught me sleep walking, or whatever you want to call it, last night. I take Ambien because I had a head injury from August of 2004 and now I cannot go to sleep by myself. Anyway, last night I got up and turned on the stove. I put a pan on. I put butter and oil in it on low. I was going to cook some pirogues (if that's how it's spelled). I remember getting out of bed to do that because I didn't eat dinner before going to bed. I then remember that I had to go to the bathroom so I went into the bathroom. I sat down. I remember my 4 year old coming into the bathroom but I don't remember what he said. I told him to go back to bed. I don't remember anything after that. My husband told me that my son went to get him because "Something is wrong with mommy". My husband told me that I asked him for some money and a ticket or I would miss my bus. Reminder: I'm still on the toilet. Then, I guess I was freaking out about my veins bulging in my hand. (I wear a fentanyl patch on my arms for pain). I guess my husband removed my patch and then I requested him to take pictures of my hand. I remember nothing but I do see the pictures I made him take. There was nothing there. I was dreaming and acting it out. I don't even remember getting into the bed or shutting off the stove. I'm figuring that my husband took care of both. Ambien does weird things. That wasn't the first time but it was the most scarey to my family. What causes that?
