I'm not planning on doing anything today except feed my ferals and fill the bird feeders. This really has me drained and for someone who doesn't normally sleep it's doing a good job. But we're expecting a lot of snow and ice and I have to make sure my ferals are warm and have food. I have a portable heater in the garage that I leave on a few hours to warm it up. I'm taking Erythromycin and Robitussin to help me cough. I'm trying so hard not to suppress it but my chest hurts when I do. And no codeine in this one because she said it suppresses coughing. :(

So I'm going to feed everyone and just do absolutely nothing. I need a break from it all. ;)

Hi BJ,
 

I hope you start feeling better really soon. I could imagine how hard it was to have the VNS going and the Pneumonia. It messes with the throat a lot so that would make everything worse for you.

Like you, I always wait for the next ball to drop. I deal with suicidal tendencies, have forever. They didn't change much with the VNS on though.

What really bothered me was the fact that it was making my acid reflux worse and contipation worse. I had to raise my dosage of Prevacid to try and calm the stomach down.

I went to the VNS website and read up on the VNS and I was surpised at the problems others were having with it.

I really don't want mine back on right now. I think we should have a way of shuting it off ourselves. I realize some people don't see the severity in this but after having 19 surgeries in 12 yrs. I just feel like I want to be able to shut mine down completely in case of an emergency.

I do hope you start feeling better and if you want to talk, call me. I will talk to you anytime. I live alone too and don't see my kids nor grandkids on weekends.

Take care,
Ada
