The tech said my ultrasound looked the same as the last one, which is not good, and not what I had hoped for. It's not surprising, but still upsetting. I still have to wait for the radiologist's report tho. I should be able to view it on Monday.


My pdoc had raised my 300mg dose of gabapentin a while ago due to a manic episode. I'm on 400mg now and it's been getting sedating. But I've been stressed out, the holidays are coming up, and my s/s attempt was on the 23rd 3 yrs ago. So yesterday we decided to keep it at 400mg at least until I see her next month, unless I need to see her sooner.


My aunt texted me last night to tell me (somewhat graphically) that my half-sister's mother committed suicide, and could I please call my father to let him know. He was okay, having divorced her almost 50 years ago. I haven't talked to my half-sister in over a decade. but there is no animosity. I feel very badly for her and her half-sister


It's something that could seriously f*** with me. It doesn't take much where this topic is concerned. I'm glad that I didn't change my meds, and that my pdoc's office is open for another week.

I was also taxed with notifying my brother and sister

I'm okay.
I'm just trying not to think about it so I don't go down the rabbit hole.

Right now I'm just waiting on the radiologist report from Friday's ultrasound. It's a really big deal...

I wrapped my nephews' presents this weekend and I have to mail the package out this morning. I'm sure the post office will be a zoo. But first, I need to pick up a couple of gift certificates to stick in their cards.

Then I have to do laundry
I keep the detergent in the car... I hope it isn't frozen! I will have to check before I leave the house and buy more if it is.

Aside from the laundry, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing again

I got the radiology report yesterday, and as expected, it was the same bad news. No word from the doctor yet...

He should be trying to figure out if something other than past lithium use, which he doesn’t believe is the problem, is causing it so the condition can be treated because some of the potential culprits are very serious and could continue to damage to my kidneys and more.

He needs to at least order more blood word and urine tests.
But I have little faith he will be able to get to the root of the problem... if he even tries.

IDK.

I left home early to get my nails done, and when I leave here, I’m going to be brave and go to the outlets (which will be a nightmare) to buy my MIL and SIL their Yankee Candles.
