I can go about my pre-bedtime tasks while thinking only of them. . .one step at a time.

nice shower
awake again

Maybe pack lunch, organize papers before tossing them in bag, make list of what I have to do in the a.m.,

Alarm is set for 8:45.

Mari

I'm glad the gabapentin is working so well for you.

I am a little confused though. Why the post with the list

Leaving folks things. I'm lost.

I think I freaked out hubby last night

HI,

Hubby often speaks better with actions than with words. When I came to my office today I saw an office sized fridge and a small 900 watt microwave that he bought at Sams. Later, he had a student drop off some chalk for me (most rooms use white boards, but I need chalk in the room with a/c I found).

I'm ok. He needs to be less obessessive and I need to get more sleep. Otherwise, we collide.

M

I am glad that you are ok.
yes you need to get more sleep.
just agreeing with you.:o

Dear Mari

i hope you enjoy the fridge and microwave oven - certainly convenient ... unless you already had them in a shared space and they take up office space you would have preferred "free." you can probably return them in that case.

i think that was funny on hubby's behalf.

I just took my meds. I am hoping I feel better soon.

Quit work? Quit hubby? Go into hospital? All three? Alternative like changing name and moving?

forgive me if i found this hysterical (in both senses? :o:eek:) but i also recognized a sense of panic in it that was far from funny. i am really glad to hear you are feeling better.

[...] I need to put together for him and my sister the following:

1. emergency contact for pdoc, mdoc, tdoc
2. two lawyers' names and numbers

i do think this is a good idea. Starting to feel like you might lose it bad enough. Add to that the fear of getting stuck in some gawful hx only makes things worse i think. Having this emergency list in place might take away a stressor that hits you at the worst of times, is what i am thinking.

i hope hubby can real in his obsessing somewhat too. and that you continue to get more sleep. i know the sleep will help.

sending lots of love and good vibes...

I highly recommend all of us making out a list of our past hospitalizations, injuries, allergies,( i list SSRI's in there) medical information that could be useful, family hx if significant, current doctors names and phone numbers, current medications and supplements, insurance information, blood type, contact information copy of living wills if we have one, share this with your significant other/family member or health care representative.
Sounds like you are going to do this.

pdoc later today

HI,

I see pdoc later today. I am less in the mood than I normally am to
1. wake up and get out of bed for an afternoon appt.
2. drive
3. deal with him.

I also don't feel like explaining the Gabapentin to him.

M.

sorry ... sounds like you are feeling bleehhh today. :(

can you find the gabapentin posts in this thread, and just print them for him to read? even maybe just the last few posts on it would be enough?

i hope you regain your energies soon ((((hugs))))
