Hi friends,
The fine motor involvement may be from the zyprexa.

I am on 2 anti-psychotic meds now. I noticed my fingers occasionally falling off the keys while typing, for Just a few days, since taking the zyprexa for sure. I am not noticing right now though so that is good!


Spoke to jeff, his mom is having dialysis today.

Her kidneys aren't working, still on the vent. He texted me a picture of her and she looks awful...she wanted all measures taken she is NOT a dnr.

poor thing


Now, I am going to sandras to see what prepared food I can get from them, chicken salad, soups, tabouli....etc.

It sounds like Jeff decided he will be gone until tuesday. I see Dr. Orazio in the morning tuesday. And was going to start working half days wednedsday.



I feel like I can't take care of myself, like I am completely dependant on others to care for me. I am like a young child. I have already packed a bag for a 3 day stay at the hospital if I need to go.



I should have cleaned the house some.....I still have time.

Jeff said marysues house is awful, he picked up all of the trash. Brian doesn't do any cleaning around her house.
Trying not to complain because he is able to bring her food and look after her.
It is a blessing that he lives minutes away from her now.



There is some busy work for the business that I can do:

Need to put return address labels on my bills that I send.
Make up some new charts.

It is like I am avoiding work.
I need to finish the billing!!!!
I need to run to sandras!!!!
Paul comes to pick me up at 6;30 for dinner.
I need to start writing down what meds I take at what times am getting confused about that.
Geodon needs to be taken with food/meal to actually work. as does tegretol only just some food to protect the stomach.



Our cat, Hazel just knocked over 20oz of pop all over the floor and computer desk getting some things wet...jeffs stuff and other scraps of paper. I used a big towel to wipe it up....lots of fur balls and bits of black pieces from the computer chair that is slowly molting. I really need to run the vacuum.... sigh


Run to sandras, and some billing before paul picks me up....
Can I get off this computer?

9pm Just got back from our friends house.

Dinner was great!

Chinese food, spicy chicken with celery and carrots and onions.

and dumplings, quite yummy!


Looking back over todays doings and it wasn't much.

A lot of time on internet!
I did go to sandras and pick up 2 meals they had left over,
chicken and sweet potatoes and chard and collards.
I also bought a pound of chicken salad and some cheese brocolli soup.



I did not even do billing. I will do that tomorrow.
wonder if I should set the alarm for tomorrow morning?

I would like to(need to) get up and take a shower.
Maybe I will go to the horse farm market. It is open until noon.

Scratch farm kitchen has a food truck there and they are so good!


Tomorrow night is the strings concert.

Carol wants to go and said she would drive.
Maybe she would like to do dinner?

Maybe I could fix it for her like I said before.



At this point Marysue is very fragile.... had to have dialysis this evening.
On the cardiac floor, They forgot to give her 2 days worth of her blood pressure meds!!!!
They really like the care in ICU.

Jeff may stay until tuesday instead of sunday like he has planned,
not sure when he will decide.(sometime before sunday)



I am feeling better, more in control.
Thank you for your support.
(((((HUGS)))))

Thank you for your support!
This is what I sent to my pdoc:

Dr. Orazio,
Just wanted to update you...knowing that you won't get this message until monday.
I am feeling much better, thank goodness.
I appreciate your patience with me.


I am better, less disorganized getting things done so that is good.

Unfortunately I am having side effects from the zyprexa
I am noticing some neuro involvement in my hands., fine motor skills.

Occasionally,, My fingers are falling off of the keys when I type.
Hopefully this goes away in time, or doesn't get worse.....

My mother in law is off the ventilator and doing better, so that is good.
Not sure when Jeff is coming home, either sunday or tuesday.

Walked on the tred mill today so that is good. got some bills done.

I also stopped taking my supplements just in case one of them was interfering with the tegretol absorption.

Just got off the phone with Jeff.
His mother has been thru so much, they thought they lost her.

She did not have dialysis but had this plasma exchange to rid her blood of the antibodies from her Miasthemia gravis crisis=MG crisis. She will have a series of five treatments. None on sunday then resume monday, tuesday, wednesday. They lasts 4-5 hours to do. The first one did not show a response, though this second one was like a miracle she got off the ventilator! and her kidneys started working again. But they are concerned that she may have some infection...perhaps her White blood count is elevated? I did not ask.
Such a turn around a day can make.
Her status remains a full code.
If she had had a living will that said no ventilator she would be dead right now. Need to rethink my wishes as we all should and share them with our loved ones.

I am a lot better.
Had Carol over for dinner before the concert. We had plate lunches from sandras that I picked up yesterday.
Chicken thighs with sweet potatoes and greens. It was very good!
Then we went to a strings concert at the university, it was good. Carol drove then we went for ice cream. She is not the best driver, hoping that I won't need a night driver soon.

I heated up some corn bread with butter to eat just now because I am supposed to take geodon with

food/meal, in order for it to work. 350 calories. And the tegretol can irritate your stomach.

I took my last dose of geodon and tegretol at 12;30 after lunch.
they are supposed to be 12 hours apart. I think it is ok to take them early.
Jeff is staying in INDY until tuesday, his flight arrives at 7;30pm.
He will fly out again for spring break in early april.
I need to take my meds.
good night

Hi,


Hi, Bizi,

It's good that you did the treadmill and did some bills.

Keep checking in with your pdoc like you have been.

I am wondering why Jeff has not called about his mom, they have not received a call so we know that she must still be alive.
His brother Brian had some errands to run this morning when I spoke with Jeff.


There is a discount drug card for vraylar that I need to print off. I am hoping that she starts to switch me, stops the zyprexa.


I need to get going and not be on here.

Just heard from jeff that they will probably move marysue out of ICU today so she must be much better!
I need to get off here.
thank you all for your well wishes for her and me!

Bizi, be careful with this new drug. It was one that Dan couldn't do. I don't remember why, he just said it made him feel to weird. And he told his doctor while impatient he needed off it.

Also have you ever tried trileptal.
