Oh two posts.....
I figured I would do a catch up post.
I don't believe I shared here, but Tam and I are happy puppy parents. His name is Omar and he is a pug shiatsu mix. He is missing one eye and can see shadows in the other eye which is still not a normal eye. As I sit here trying to type he is using me as a giant chew toy. When he is in a loving snuggle mood he hugs my neck and tries to smother me as he rubs all over my face and give huge sloppy kisses. I'll need to do a photo post of him and my ring.
No real new news on my mother. She is convinced she is going to die and I just keeping waiting for her to see the specialist to see if this is even cancer. Don't get me wrong, I'm concerned and all but she hasn't seen the people who actually make the call in these situations. So I wait another week or so before she sees the specialist.
I have made some really fun friends at work. We all went out for my birthday to a Drag Show and I was up on stage with the hairiest drag queen ever. It was a blast, again I need to do a photo post to share that night as well. Brandi, Jason and Jamie (Tam's kids) all made sure they came out too. Tam had to work the next morning so she stayed home and watched Dominick. (The grandson)
Since the move I've found new doctors and all of them are associated with UNC Hospital and that has turned out to be a wonderful thing. They see all my records between doctors since they are linked online and I've gotten some great results. Still loosing weight and finally hit below 200 pounds. I was so excited about that. Although the bipolar is under control or so I believed it to be, the psychiatrist is adding in meds to actually balance me 100% and stop some mind racing and the best thing ever to sleep. Over the last week I've pretty much bounced between comatose to nauseous but balanced. Lithium was a solid NO GO and determined within a week. Right now I'm on Seraquel XR which seems to be working with a bit of groggy in the mornings, but I'm still battling the nausea daily. If it settles in a week or so I'm good, if not then I will be moving onto the next choice. Gotta love being crazy.
That's it for now, but the next post will be chuck full of pictures, so dial up (does anyone still have that?) beware.
