I'm glad to see your mood is relaxed  |
I'm sure he'll keep an eye on his weight. He hasn't had a physical recently, so I don't know his cholesterol.
There aren't enough mood words on this site. Last night I was feeling 'content' but that's not available. So I picked 'relaxed.' Today I'm headachy. I slept nearly 8 hours, but I could use more!
It's funny you commented on my mood, because I almost told you I was sorry to see you're depressed. Then I thought it might be confusing.
I've been reading about prognosis for people dx'd with sz lately. It's so much more hopeful than the "experts" would have you believe. It helps me stay calm to remember that right now we're just at one point in a long journey that I'm confident will have a good outcome.
