Yep, pdoc appointment went well. He’s not at all concerned about the ambien and my age. He says there’s trade off and for bipolar sleep is necessary. The need for good sleep outweighs the going of certain meds just because of age. Also because I have no side effects and haven’t been falling, we can continue. My next appointment is January.

He is slightly concerned with my blanks. I don’t know what to call it. But I’ll be playing cards when suddenly I don’t know what I’m doing any more. The cards look alien. Yesterday it happened when I was playing bingo, she was calling the number but I couldn’t comprehend it, or what I needed to do. All the numbers were jumbled. Then today coming back home I just kept driving down the road, past my exit. It’s scary.
