We had a good day today. The neurologist said mom was above average among the 87 year olds he has seen. Good news. We enjoyed some great doughnuts with milk, had dinner at O’Charleys and watched a good movie with sister. We just got home and I’m in shorts and a tank top. Geez still warm and muggy this late. I’m about to head to bed so I can get up early and go float.
The Zoloft has been good for me. It has helped tremendously. I didn’t hurt at all today and had a pleasant, fruitful day. Here’s to many more. Things might be alright after all. I hope everyone has a peaceful evening. |

Jennifer - all good news - Hurray!
Scooter, having a pdoc who knows how to treat BD with anxiety is so good. I hope the Prozac works well for you. __________________ |

That's it, I'm done with Caplyta. I never woke up today, felt rubbish all day. Then I went to take the recycling out. A fairly long walk along an outside corridor, down the stairs, a short walk to the recycling bin. A walk across the parking lot, walk along the downstairs outside corridor, up different stairs, around the corner to my apartment. And I barely made it. I was so off-balance that I could not walk in a straight line. Every step going down, then back up, the stairs felt dangerous. My breathing was being weird, too.
I'll go with the med dude's first choice, 25mg of Seroquel before bed. But tonight I'll take Tylenol PM, which usually makes me fall asleep after a little while - and I wake up without a backache. And tomorrow instead of staring at the wall half-asleep, grieving my daughter's birthday - I'll skate! __________________ |

My husband and I have changed our plans to return home tomorrow instead of six days from now. I'm becoming ill, plus we're done here in France. I had been taking prn Ativan, but instead will now take more Seroquel XR. I'll call my psychiatrist tomorrow.

I'm going to try going off Zyprexa. I'm so fragile right now I flipped out because I dropped the pill so said fk it God doesn't want me to take it. I didn't sleep much today (it's been up since 2am) but then again yesterday I slept a lot. I need to learn to deal with being awake.

I'm back home. The vacation did me good. There is a lot to do at home. Think I'll start slowly.
Best wishes to all! |

I really need a Coke but I can't have anything. My sister is dropping the kids off AGAIN this afternoon. After the weekend water fiasco. My mom says my sister is fine she just has an appointment. I haven't been able to get to the grocery store partially because of them and partially because of me too and then my mom on Tuesday. I swear I'm going to go crazy without my fennel and rice noodles. Ha I sound like such a hipster millennial snob. Maybe I'll be too jacked up on morphine to care. I'm wondering how my nephews are feeling being sent here all the time now. If they are already starting to feel ignored by their parents because of the new baby or if they don't care because here they get unlimited cookies and goldfish crackers and can just sit in front of the TV all day.
Update: I did my test. I didn't get any morphine. I did get something in my IV after the first hour that made me incredibly nauasated and crampy. The lab lady said it would do that. I don't know if it was supposed to do it as bad as it did though. I was about ready puke over the side of the table but the throwing up feeling passed. When the 2 hours were up the tech was just like ok you can go. She didnt have me sit up for a bit despite the fact I was lying down for 2 hours. She just rushed me out. I found it kinda odd. They were nice though during the test. Currently I'm pretty nauseated and feeling unwell but I got half of my grocery shopping done before the test and my mom got the other stuff while I was doing the test. So I have fennel and other stuff. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Jun 23, 2022 at 10:24 AM.. |

Starting with the good news: In addition to the insurance company, I was able to send in an application for an airline. I'd be working for them at my regional airport. It looks like they're hiring for every role under the sun (ticket agent, baggage handler, those guys with the big Lite-Brites who direct planes). Here's hoping they call! Here's hoping it's a worthwhile gig!
My father has swung back to his "generous" phase. He wants to pay for my car insurance and house insurance. I won't argue. I offered some information so he could do it. He replied with, what was essentially, "Don't need it." His name is not on the account in any way. He's got someone wrapped around his finger who's willing to violate ethics (possibly the law) to cater to him. I'm not in a position to address this fully now, but once I get some stability, I'm going to transfer agents and cut that relationship off at the knees. A fun example of "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story." My dad decided to tell me about an area community college doing programs to train substitute teachers that I NEED to look into. Anyone who is even remotely connected with or knows anything about school staffing know subs are paid to just sit there. No training required. I gently (and repeatedly) tell him this and... he starts over. He's annoyed his sage advice is being questioned. So. I smiled and nodded. I did look into it on my own. It's a two-year associates degree designed to get would-be teachers ready for the hands on part of their major track at a 4-year university. Nice, but not exactly the apprentice course my dad was thinking of. Found out where my tax refund went. My university. I'm fairly certain I don't have a bill through them, but the university seems to disagree. More phone calls about money. Great. 😠 __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

Made the new thread, #67 but can’t link it. If someone could that would be great

The hida scan was normal. So the doctor is prescribing some med I take 4 times a day and told me to avoid fattening foods and to call back if things don't get better. My mom is super pissed he doesn't seem to be taking this seriously. But GI doctors are notorious for not taking people seriously. But I'd rather have a pill to take to get rid of whatever this is then to go under anethesia again or get surgery. My mom is just annoyed at him. I'm suprised he took me seriously in the first place and did the hida scan. The last GI doctor I went to once and never went back. I guess I'm so currently calm about this situation because I took an Advil a couple hours ago and I've only eaten vegetables in almost 24 hours so I haven't been feeling much pain wise today.

He also has a groin infection so maybe a combo? Yes I hope it sparkles and shines. But I'm worried that he will just destroy it again.
