Lithium.... Mood
Thursday, July 17, 2008

I’m scared that this third surgery on my ankle won’t help. I guess I’d just have to learn to bare it. That’s not an easy thing to do.  The kids and I will spend this week shopping for cloths and taking time to play together and preparing the house and most especially my room. We’re all working in one room at a time.

God I hope I don’t visit depression about this depression around my surgery. (I just had my Lithium lowered. I’m determined to keep the positive it brought and get rid of the rather sever tics, twitches, jerks, jumps and all manner of other disturbing ailments.

We all got new phones yesterday.  Mine has a pretty steep learning curve…. At least to me…

I’m really struggling with the reduction in my lithium dosage. I’m becoming that manic wild woman again. Gotta hate those mood swings. And this before surgery, but it had to be done. The spasms were getting too sever. So now I feel bonky again. I have to control it. I’ve been averaging 3-4 chill pills a day just to function. I’m calling the doctor tomorrow to see what she says. I just want my meds evened out and the surgery to be over. I want to have a life again. Dealing with this ankle for 2 years has seriously put a cramp in my fun time with my kids.
