Hey everyone! I haven’t been around, just because there’s been nothing to report lol. I’ve been reading and giving out hugs!

I’m doing very well. My haldol taper is over and I am so much more comfortable now! I don’t Fidget at all! No mouth or tongue movements and I can finally sit still with no tremor. I’m definitely happier. I haven’t started on abilify yet, I see my psych nurse on Saturday to start it up. She’s confident I can get by on a low dose because I did well emotionally on the low dose of haldol. I’m just hoping it doesn’t upset the apple cart.

I went to the dentist for my permanent bridge and they didn’t give me enough novacaine! I felt everything, it was terrible. I don’t know why I didn’t stop them. I just never want to interfere with medical procedures and I also think I shouldn’t be a baby but I guess dental work is a different ball game. They couldn’t even complete the procedure because my gums are still inflamed! So I have to go back! When I do I will ask for more novacaine, that’s for sure!

Tomorrow I have another unpleasant medical procedure so I took off the whole day. It’s the EMG test for the carpal tunnel syndrome. They shoot electric current through your nerves and I’ve had one before and it sucks. But I’ll take the rest of the day for Christmas shopping/wrapping. RS has off as well so we’re gonna have a nice kid free lunch together.

And then on Saturday we’re going to a concert! We’re going to see less than jake, a band I’ve loved since I was a teenager. I haven’t been to a concert since 2019. And this is very exciting because I’ve always wanted to see them.
