But then some swift clerical person in Prague ignored my exact name, giving me my childhood middle name (when I use my maiden name as a middle name), and adding "ova" to my married name. That just doesn't wash. That's like renaming a woman "Jane Elizabeth Novakova" when your passport shows "Jane Jones Novak". Anyway, huge hassles, but it will eventually be fixed. I'm not exactly going to travel to the US to totally change my name, social security card, and passport for the error of some shmuck.

Soupe du jour...I don't know if it was in the New York TImes or Washington Post, but I read an article that said they're changing that law in the Czech Republic so women could retain their own names. Good luck fighting with the bureaucrats!

~Christina...As long as you're getting Gus fixed, have you considered getting him chipped at the same time? That way, if he should ever get lost they will be able to track you down.
@
wildflowerchild25 and @
Sapien...You're both going through rough stretches right now. Just remember that "bipolar" means "two poles." Things are bound to change eventually.
As for me, despite that one night when I have 5 hours sleep, I'm still getting 3-4 hours. My pdoc wants to see me this morning. I called yesterday just to check in, but I don't know what more he can do. I think he just wants to milk me for another paid visit! I'm taking 200mg of Trazodone & 1mg of Klonopin at night, which sends me into the land of sleep. I just can't stay there! I've been waking up at 3-4 in the morning. No of hypo, or mania...Just a general lack of sleep.
