Hi, friends, I always seem to be apologizing for my absence. This is a pic of me on my cruise, unfortunately, The weather here is nothing like then. Oh, I miss the temps and sunshine. We’ve had lots of rain and it’s not great for getting the gardrn work done. I’ve been up and down the last couple of weeks. A lot of it is my fault, overdoing things ir kitchen reno plus being sick with the flu and cold. Went to my pdoc on tues. and my usual 15 min appointment ended up being an hour and I cried the whole time. I am so.... tired of this merry go round!!! So guess what???? he’s changing my meds again but at least this time he is listening to me and reducing them sort of... he is removing one, the least effective and increasing the lamictal which is suppose to be the latest drug of choice for mood stabilizers. We’ll see!!! Right now I’ll try anything. I even asked him about electric shock therapy and he is not really keen on the idea. He is sending me for an MRI because of my gaps in memory and my inability to do simple tasks at times like spell easy words, simple math, even little nursery rhymes. This is so... depressing for me, I’m not bragging but I am a very intelligent person. I was always at the top of my class. I was a great teacher. I worked hard to always improve myself constantly. Now I’m luck if I can tell you 9x6!! It’s really demeaning.Anyway, enough about that because I know there are a lot of my friends here on DS that are a lot worse of than I am. Too all of you I offer hope and peace.Be well, DebbiePS Not sure when I’ll be back on line but I’ll try not to be away for too long. Debbie
