I don't have a lot to post yet.

But I go to pt on Wednesday. And then I will have somemore to
post.

But I wanted to start a new thread.

I also wanted to introduce my oldest Son Dan, he is bipolar and
has been through lots of medications since he was a young
child. Nothing seems to work. He is now on a shot once
a month. Its abilify I believe it works. Which is a godsend
for us and him. We have worked very hard to keep him at
a stable area.

He is 43 now, and he has 2 children. One is 22 I believe. And
one is 6 and she has autism, and other special needs. She
is doing really good right now. So her 1st grade will be interesting
because we are planning to mainstream and have her in
a special classroom both this year. She was mainly in a special
classroom last year.

We will see how she does.

I will tell you about my third son Devin later. And his son and step
children.

So good that you're posting, Donna.

Nice to meet you.

I also take Abilify, but in pill form on a twice a day basis. I have severe major depression with psychotic features, GAD and some OCD. Not easy to deal with sometimes, but I take it day by day.

Hope your Wednesday appointment goes well.


Wishing you and your family the best!

I started PT today, just the what they called re-evaluation.

The gal, The reason my son takes the shot once a month is because
he can't remember to take his medicine. He tries very hard to remember
and he even explained very well how hard he tried to his psychiatrist.

And how he would be downstairs, and his dad would remind him, he would go upstairs to take it, and forgot, go back downstairs and his dad would ask him if he had taken it again. and start over, it is or was a over and over thing. Only
if I was standing over him making him take it did it go down. Which even
then it didn't always go down. Because he still didn't always remember
if I wasn't there. So this works so much better for him.

Oh yes, it's good he is taking the shot.

Well the emg went well I'm still sore. But that will hopefully get
better. Its from having to lay on the back.

Anyway, my pt has been given a big stop or what ever its called.
Its because the doctor waited a week to Sign the paperwork for
the pt to get sent to insurance. So they couldnt send it in.

THey just sent it in on Friday which means its at least another week.
And they are booking into at least the first week of August right
now. Ugh so I'm not going to get started for quite a while.

I was supposed to have the physical therapy before getting the epidural
then the epidural if it didn't work.

Donna

[dmom3005]

Well I have a date for my physical therapy to start. Its August 3rd.

Its then 9 more times, I'll set them up while I'm there that day.

We will see how much better it is after that. I'm really hoping its much
better. But we will see.

Derrick finally is getting back to work, I'm hoping that he will get to
start in the kitchen sometime this week too. we are having really
hot weather this week. Derrick had a really bad hot day yesterday.
So he hasn't felt the best today, so he has been resting.

He is hopefully picking up a shift tomorrow.

Thanks for the update! Hope Derrick got the shift he wanted, and hope his cooking training begins as soon as possible.

I was on abilify once it made me manic.

[dmom3005]

I'm sorry it made you manic. I'm just so glad the shot form has made
Dan more stable than he has ever been. He is doing so well with this
form he is being more grown up than he has ever been.

Dale and Dan helped Kortni and Harmony move in to the house we have
that is empty last week, and a good friend. That needs a place to stay, who will be helping her with the rent.

Anyway they are doing a good job together. Dan is spending a lot of time there helping out. And spending time with them all.

I had my mri today for my adrenal gladn spots, and it took 6 sticks to finally tet the stick to take. So I could get the contrast to be in so I could have it.

I am getting my epidural on Thursday finally. Yah, its been a long time coming.
Donna

PS. Hope every one is doing great.

[dmom3005]

I forgot to tell you Derrick started his cook trainee today.

My mri was good i got the results today.

They recommend doing another mri in a year.

Yes, It was. It was bittersweet tonight. His manager called tonight
and let him know the restaurant is closing. That if he would like
to get some hours to come in tomorrow or Tuesday and to
do cleaning. He will go in on Tuesday and do cleaning. He is making
a list for new places to go. He is upset but will bounce back soon.

He got a start which is good, he can add cook trainee to his resume.

I am sorry that the restaurant is closing.
how disappointing . he had high hopes for his cooking training.
Yes this will look good on his resume.
They were so accommodating to him.
hard to find a right match.
good luck to him.
