The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

the reduction of one of my medications...

A while back I posted that the PDoc wanted to reduce one of my medication in an effort to raise the threshold of my seizures. Well she told me if I found that my mood was declining that I should go back up to the dosage that I was at. Well today I did just that. My moods has been on a downhill slide to the point that I had to stop it or else. I told my wife of what was going on and she agreed that I needed to boost the medication back up.

Hopefully the medication will help soon. I'm at the stage that I just want to keep eating and that is not good nor is the other thing starting to run through my head. I mention that to my wife as well. She said that we can get through this, and that she would help.

One of the things that I don't like is the lack of desire to visit my blogging friends, and the wanting to sleep all day again. To quote a line from a Betty Davis movie: "Fasten your seat belts this is going to be a bumpy ride" (which movie I can not remember that the line came from) I ask that you keep me in your prayers as I try to ride this out.

  7. I hate it when my life is controlled by a prescription. I had that 10 years ago with a pain medication. I became addicted to it and weaned myself off it, which is something I don't advise anyone to do. Now the only pain medication I take is one over the counter.

  12. Dear Mike,
    I am proud of you for taking care of yourself. You have consulted your p-doc, listened to yourself, and your dear wife, and you are doing what you need to take care of yourself. I applaud you for that.
