I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

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.

I'm not going to quite blogging.

I will still continue to blog. It may take me a few days to get back into the swing of things.

Here is one reason, my bi-polar meds are being adjusted. The medication that I am on can lower the SEIZURE THRESHOLD. We are reducing the amount that I take. I am seeing one change that is not for the good. I am not the happy go lucky self that I was several days ago. I am trying to ride out this and it is maybe why I overreacted and posted the post about quitting.


I am hoping that when I get to the dosage that my doctor wants me to be at that I stabilize again. If not the medication will be going back up to where it was. Meanwhile, enjoy the post that Sandee just posted about the Alligators.

Please keep me in your prayers,while I try to ride out the changes. If things do not improve next week I will be boosting the meds back up. I may still throw a video in for Friday.
One more thing, I am glad to have my blogging friends that I have and will be visiting you as I can.

  4. Mari,Speedcat,and Sandee,Thank you are for your prayers,the medication is being dropped down by 20mg from 60mg to 40 mg a day.it does not sound like much but it is and if my stability starts getting worse that I am to go back to the higher dose and just have to live with the lower seizure threshhold.Such is life.

  11. Finding Pam,Wanda,AirmanMom,Jude8753,and Kat,the reason for lowering one the dosage on my mood stablizer drug it that it also lowers the threshold for seizures that the lamictil helps with.so we will se what will be.If I start having bad mood swings that the reduction of meds are a no-go.

    By the way, his mother was named Celestine, and we named our daughter that too! A beautiful name indeed.

  15. Mike I came over as soon as I got up and got your message!!

    Of course you will be in my prayers. Please know I too am Bi-Polar and I know exactly what you are going through!!

    I went through an attempted mad change about 2 years ago and I thought I would go nuts.

    I was all over the place with my mood swings!!

    I do so hope they find a comfortable place for you where you can control the agitation but not do physical harm to your body.

    Hang in there and don't give up!! Too many of us love you!!

    Holding you extra special close in my heart, thoughts and prayers!!
    Jackie
