Had Botox today in my 11 line and a little in my forehead. Ran errands for about two hours before going home and then worked at my computer from my bed, pillows propped up so I could read, etc. Not fully lying down at all, more like really leaned back, but I started to fall asleep for about 15 minutes, then woke up.
