leave a message ... "beeep"
Here I am, another Monday morning at work. I'm pretty tired as I didn't sleep well at all. I had a horrible nightmare which now seems a bit distant and fuzzy. It was, none the less, very unpleasant but very realistic. The type where you're trying to scream but you can't. I hate that.
I missed some time from work for the EEG and Friday for the neurologist. I took the rest of Friday off as I wasn't feeling quite right. I think the lack of sleep caught up with me and my legs were spasming and my head was aching. Blah. But the doctor confirmed JME (junior myoclonic epilepsy) and proscribed Depakote. It's a great medication for me, being some one who has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, migraines and epilepsy ... takes care of all three. I won't be at a theraputic dosage for another few days. I'm supposed to be weening myself off of Klonopine but I was feeling a little nasty yesterday so I'll take the full dosage of Klonopine until I can get to the theraputic dosage of Depakote.
I have a bunch of family in town. Dennis and I went to my parents house last night to have dinner with my cousin, Michelle, who has a million kids and now lives in Gilbert. I saw Michelle's mom, my aunt May and her husband, my uncle Darryl. I got to see my aunt Hazel (from California) who is always fun. I got to see "Uncle Bunky" and his new wife, Sandy who is always quite nice. We all too much food (soo much food) and chatted about the room. All around nice event. I'm going to spend Tuesday night at my parents to visit with the extended family some more which is nice. I never get to see my family.
Well I'm sure I have a big day of catching up to do. *yawn* I wish I'd gotten restful sleep last night. It didn't help that Satan was bouncing on my head. (Not the prince of Darkness, my cat Satan :). *yawn*
