Thank you, ladies

Happy belated Kitty Mommy Day to you Bizi and Bobby!

I'm still manic, but I'm in a GOOD mood? LOL. I don't know exactly what happened to cause this change so quickly, but I'll take it!!! This is a MUCH more pleasant and comfortable place to be!!!
And I don't see myself needing all the Lamictal I used to take, which means that my pdoc will have something to play with if I need meds adjusted because of future episodes. That's good since I'm maxed out on everything else.

The Mirlax kicked in very quickly yesterday, so it worked like a laxative because of my short gut (Dr. Chen warned me it may). Now I'm not sure I should be taking it everyday. I still have to go to the BR, so I took it again this morning. Not sure yet what I'm going to do after that tho. I did go, and didn't experience any problems, so I'm very happy about that

I've been out of the hospital for a week now, and I've gained 2lbs, which is good, but I don't want to gain back too much because I had wanted to lose weight before I went in. So, I should probably stop eating a pint of ice cream every night... but I say that all the time lol. Ice cream was one of the few things I would eat when I first came home, so that didn't help me break the habit at all.
As of now, I have been able to eat anything I want to without problems, but I'm steering clear of take-out and fast food, especially Chinese food, which I love but had already been giving me problems.

The vertigo was much better yesterday, but it's back and giving me problems again this morning. I was discharged on Augmentin, so if I have/had a sinus infection from the NG tube, that should be taking care of it, but it seems to be going on too long. If it continues, I have to think about the possibility that it may be from MS, which has a habit of flaring up and kicking you when you're down.

Right now I'm waiting for someone from the gas company to come and change the gas meter. They gave me a 8am-noon window. I took my shower early (7am) so that I'll be ready to go out after they leave...

I have to go grocery shopping. I'm still working on my list. My appetite still isn't great, so I'm struggling. I've only come up with 4 meals to cook for the week. Really not much is appealing right now. I'll guess I'll come up with something.

I have several appointments this week, and it's a little overwhelming. Wednesday is the only day I have free. There were things that I just couldn't put off. I had to reschedule 3 appointments while I was in the hospital, and had to get new orders from my neurologist for my Tysabri infusion because I was inpatient. It was a mess.

Thank you!

I can finally say I am definitely feeling better overall

I've overdone it as usual tho. Between totally cleaning out the cat boxes (they REALLY needed it) and cleaning the office on Sunday, and grocery shopping yesterday, I'm totally wiped out. But I don't have anymore big plans like that on the horizon. I just have to get my a- to a couple of appointments later in the week, and maybe do some light cleaning along the way.

I really needed a nap yesterday, but I still can't settle down enough to take them. I think I would probably be doing even better than I am now if my mind would let me rest more.

I'm getting a mani/pedi today around noon. I don't get pedicures in the winter, so it's been a long time since I've had one. I'll be trading my sneakers in for sandals very soon, so I figured it was time to get my toes done. It takes a long time to get both done tho, and I don't really like that, but at least the company will be good (Judy)

The Mirilax is working for me. I'm still not sure that it should be a daily thing tho because I'm having D, so I'm going to try skipping it today. I know that I need more fiber because of the D, so I'm going to add a second FiberCon tab to tonight's pill case. It's better to use Fiber than Mirilax if possible. I guess I will wait to see what happens and go from there.

I posted yesterday, hun. I know you worry (((HUGS)))
Thank you, Blue

I did get kicked off the internet several times while I was trying to read and post on the forum yesterday morning tho. I think it was a problem with Safari. I ended up having to throw in the towel because I had to get ready for my appointment.

The pedicure was fabulous! Well, what I could feel. I enjoyed the leg massage, but I really can't feel my feet much. I chose pink for my fingers and a very light shade of pink for my toes. I won't be getting another pedicure for a while, and I won't always be wearing this color on my nails.

It was very, very quiet in the nail salon for a long time yesterday, so Judy and I had a really long deep conversation about many things. It was serious at points on both sides, but not depressing. She is a very impressive young woman (28). I love her.

I was so tired when I got home! I waited until Corey came home to make him something to eat. Then I laid down to take a nap, and was actually able to fall asleep! I think I slept for about 2 hours

I don't have any appointments today, so I didn't set an alarm last night, and slept in until after 9am. I didn't want to empty the dishwasher last night before I made dinner, so I have a sink full of dishes to do. I was thinking about driving to BJ's to renew my membership and buy coffee, but now I don't know if I want to do that or not. I will go out to play the lottery tho.

I feel like maybe I'm slowing down a little? IDK. It's hard to tell. I'm definitely hypo at a minimum. I've been lacking my usual insight into things throughout this whole episode tho. Being off my meds really screwed me up. I can say that I'm safe and happy though. I can't ask for much more than that
