if i could reach my arms out to you all, i would. i feel really great today. no pain and only a little wobbly.
AAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD.........
i got an 85% on my chapter reviews for psych!
i was reviewing my grades so far and i have 3-100%
, 1-62%
and 1-85%
. I am doing really well on the things I can control (like writing papers and homework-all 100's) and it shows how the rest of the class is doing. one thing i got 100 on the class average was like 63%.
so anyway, this last chapter in the book was talking about drugs - something i am so familiar with as are all of you, i'm sure. and then i began to really research what i was taking. and do you know that amitriptyline can cause muscle spasms and seizures? and going off can cause the same? i guess it would help if i remembered what i was doing at the time because the spasms are still here - but minimal. and every other day i decide i need sleep so i take a pill.
i swear, you guys, i am manic. i feel really happy. i rode my bike almost 10 miles today and my cyclometer that i got last season rolled over 300 miles! woo hoo! i'm not hurting and i'm having a great day. i am going to have my brain scan tuesday and i think they are going to find that i have 2 brains and i am smarter than all of them
. i asked in another post is there such thing as a spine MRI or do they mean a spinal tap? i am so sick and tired of trying to research stuff right now. i'm researched out.
as i sit here my arm is throbbing a bit and the skin on my hands is so shiny that the reflection from my lamp could blind me at a moments notice. i better go and try to hypnotize myself into thinking that my pain is not really pain at all (i learned about the beauty of that too
). i also learned about accupuncture and pain control (which i think i might try) and meditation which i am going to start practicing.
after all of my tests i am taking the kids and going down south to stay with my sister for a bit. haven't decided how long yet and since i don't have to be IN school i can do it from her computer. she has an in-ground pool, a hot tub and a bunch of 4 wheelers. they are building a huge house in the woods so i might help with that or i just might sit my big butt by the pool till i fry. she has kids that will watch mine so i am set. AND she has lots of therapeutic stuff (she is a territory manager for EMPI and gave me my TENS and some other novelties). and since i can't stand my husband right now i am not even going to THINK about coming home for awhile. he can come home for lunch and let the dogs out.
love and hugs to you all - and to all a good night!
