I kept telling Dan that I loved him, but then I would forget because of the Versed and so I would tell him again and again! I acted as though I was wasted after the procedure. Thankfully, the doctors and nurses found it endearing and not intolerable. (Apparently I am a nice drunk!) :)<br /><br />What an awesome dress! Lucky girl! And I am so sorry about her chin!
