It's Only Monday

My doctor is a sweetheart. I went in this morning for my physical exam and Pap smear, and Doctor Carolyn asked how I was, all things considered. I told her I generally felt twice my age, physically, what with [list of medical conditions]. Her face grew more and more empathetic and sad with each word. When I mentioned migraines, she was surprised, since I hadn't mentioned those before. She wrote it on my chart. I told her that the migraines were all tied up with the fibromyalgia and the cerebral palsy and especially the epilepsy. She told me that I'd had had a long hard blow dealt in life but I was dealing with it so well. She moved her hands over my back and torso gently, asking if it hurt at all. I told her that it was all just the baseline fibro pain, and she nodded sympathetically. We went over my list of prescriptions. She was pleased that the Soma was working so well for me three times a week.

I've been dead exhausted all day. I'd forgotten my morning supplement cocktail and realized that I could feel it intensely after leaving the doctor's office. I drank as much green tea as I could all afternoon at work. It helped a bit.

Evening supplements and seizure pill taken. Time to clean the litter boxes. Then I will spend relax time with the husband.
