Emerging from the bog

[Guest guest]

Hey all - I had another getting better-step forward the last 3

days. Brain emerging from fog a little more. I'm going grocery

shopping for the first time, since my surgery in Nov !!! It feels

so good to be up to it physically, and mentally to not feel

overwhelmed with it. I may go hog wild and buy all sorts of stuff

at the store that we don't really need !!! I need these little

breakthroughs to have hope I am still healing and getting better.

In about 2 weeks, psychdoc starts weaning me off meds, ones that

effect my brain function and fog. We start with Trileptal, then

xanax, then ambien, and then I might try getting off my antid's -

Celexa and Nortriptyline. What's encouraging to me, is all these

years, all these meds may have been treating symptoms of a whacked

thyroid - maybe I'm not bonkers, maybe when all the dust settles,

we'll find many of my psych issues have been a whacked thyroid. I

talk with psychdoc of the former me I want to get back, and it gets

her crying, that I could be this person involved in life all through

a day. It's funny, cuz psychdocs usually have kleenes for the

clients. She keeps the kleenex by her, cuz she cries - leaks, she

calls it. Then it melts my heart, and we have a love fest.

So, glory hallelujah ! It can only get better <knock on wood>.

And many loves to my hubby who has been so loving, so loving through

all this. Working full time, cleaning house, doing bills, cooking

dinner, doing laundry, and he just loves the dickens out of me ! He

is heart of my heart. I already have my valentine. He's such a

romantic, I'm sending him roses for valentines, and it will just

melt his little romantic heart. My heart is full. sigh.
