Hello All,
I haven't been around for a while due to a life that is too busy, but a good busy most of the time. I am having a great school year with the current crop of students.
Right now, though, I have plenty of sit-around time because I broke my leg recently (fibula) and had to have an operation. I am only using crutches and a knee walker get around until next week (hopefully). Right now, I am not able to put any weight on the leg/foot. In trying to find the good with this, I guess it is a good time to be inside considering the major freeze on the east coast of the US. There are super low temps here and I live in the southeastern part of the country! While watching the Australian Open recently, I was very jealous of the warm weather some of you are enjoying.
And my mental health-it has been shaky lately. My psychologist has been identifying parts of me that are out of control. There is no sugar-coating with this t. I have been so angry with her at times, unfortunately she is pretty much right, though. I told my pdoc at my last visit that I was going to try to cut down some on the zyrtec in my meds cocktail. She asked that I only try to cut down by a third until our next visit and to keep her informed. Instead, I cut back week by week until I had eliminated the drug. I didn't call the pdoc. Meanwhile, I was falling apart emotionally. I have since gone back to the zyrtec, after a major emotional episode with the broken leg and also the loss of a friend in a freak accident. I was determined to go med-free, but it didn't happen this time. I will try again after more physical and mental healing.
That's about all.
Take Care!
