Catching up
I'm sitting here on the sofa with my cat curled up against one knee and Jim's on the other. Peg's cat is down at her door meowing to be let in. Peg's asleep, so the cat comes to look at me with the question in her eyes, 'won't you open the door for me' I love cats.
My computer is still out of comission, so this brought to you by my thumbs and sidekick.
Things are going fairly well. Peg's current state of diagnosis is BP I, OCD, PMDD Cognitive Disfunction, Brain Lesions, Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, and balence problems related to that. She just started PT for the balence problems and the PT also is getting her a TENS unit for her chronic pain. Other than that, we are waiting for the next paycheck to get her IUD that will hopefully calm the PMDD and even out some of her mood fluxuations. The med coctail seems to be doing fairly well, I do wonder if we can ever get it beyond surviving to thriving?
On other fronts on Peg, we are working on college stuff to see if we can get her in a few classes. The local college offers the enterance exam once a month, so we can hopefully do it with less stress than the big testing dates. Her IQ subtests ranged from 60 to 190, so the things she does well with she's brilliant and barely functional on the ones she struggles with. It should lead to an amusing ACT score.
We've been watching a ton of movies. If you are needing any inspiration, watch Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot-a well earned Oscar and the real guy it's about was amazing. We went and saw Coraline last night, it was wonderful. Will have to go again this next week as our theater didn't have 3D.
I've started twittering, I'm catmafia there. Neil Gaiman and Stefan Fry were what finally pushed my lemming self over the cliff.
Speaking of my lemming self, I'm also reading the Twilight books. I enjoyed the first, haven't really gotten into the second one yet. Our next door neighbor loves them and is finishing her 4th time through them, she was my inspiration. She's also newly pregnant, so it will be nice to have a wee one close. I see the little ones in the family so rarely.
Hummm, everything else. I got a cool vegetarian cookbook and eggplant is my new frequent food, I'm trying eggplant lasangna today. I've been going to PT for my back, sad how pathetic I am and have just found a few exercises I can do and they wear me out. Not sure if the morning cortisol and Progesterone have done much to help or not, need to see Dr again about the fatigue and also see if I can use the TENS unit for my back pain. I have a Echocardiogram and DEXA scan set up soon as baselines for watching issues to go with my Ehler's Danlos, also an upcoming Mamogram-lucky me. The last ice storm took down about 10-15 branches around the yard, two on the edges of the roof that are going to be a pain to get down. The puppies are a year old now and delightful bedmates.
Guess that is about it for me, animals, reading, movies, keeping up with internets, and all that Peggy entails cover the majority of my time. Jim'll be in today, so I'll have my weekly husband catch up.
