I know I�ve not been writing and people are saying, �What the bloody hell is going on with you?�
I wish I had a good reason. But I don�t.
The good thing that happened this week is that my doctor realized I�d gained 100 POUNDS plus since starting Zyprexa 2 years ago and took me off of it. I am so happy about that. From what I�ve read you start losing the weight right away.
He put me on a medication called Geodon which works like Zyprexa but doesn�t make you a fat cow by slowing down your metabolism and making you desire to eat anything that isn�t metal or glass or poo!
I�m so there. I�ve been on it, the Geodon, for about 5 days and its made light years difference in my personality. I dare say some of my prior effervescence was almost back for a few days. My social phobia is going away. I�m starting to feel like I�m living again.
Bad news is: I told my doctor I have severe Edema, which is swelling of the legs and feet. He is worried I might have some organ damage from the Zyprexa, so he�s ordered a battery of blood tests. In the meantime, he�s put me on Lasix.
Lovely Lasix.
The only person who goes to the bathroom more than me is a really a dog: Little Bear. He goes every hour. Me too.
I�ve never had to stop ANYWHERE on the way home to go, but last week had me stopping at the gas station, running in past the cashier and flying into the bathroom, no matter how disgusting it was. Nay, my bladder did not discriminate. I had to go.
The swelling of the feet is less and less. I dare say I can ALMOST see the veins in the top of my feet. It�s been a long time since that happened. Hello, feet. Nice to see you.
I almost didn�t recognize myself the other day when I threw a passing glance at my reflection. My face is less fat. How that is possible, I don�t know. One of my chins has receded!
In other news, I spent some time with Lisa Friday. I realized the other day that I�d rather spend time with her than almost anyone. She�s been there for me through thick and thin.
We took the kids to Fuddruckers Friday night. That was a lot of fun even though Jackie kept getting mad because she couldn�t win a prize, even with my help. Plus Lisa and I spent a lot of time stealing glances at the hot Latino manager, Maurice. He had a nice body and curly black hair. Meow! I tried to get some sneaky pictures of him with my camera phone but that didn�t turn out.
We also hit Johnny Brock�s Halloween Store on the way to Lisa�s.
Jackie decided to be a pirate, so we bought her costume. I got everything for her costume for about $20.00, plus, we got some other stuff. Decorations for the front of the house. I may go back and get a Viking hat that I saw. I�d love to spend the month of October driving around in a Viking hat. That would be funny.
I love Halloween! I can�t believe my birthday October 12th and Halloween are coming soon! Man, where has the year gone???
Friday night, I hung out at Lisa�s and downloaded some ring tones. I downloaded �Suavemente� by Elvis Crespo, �Beautiful� by Christina Aguilera, �You shook me all night long� by AC/DC, and �She Bangs� and �The Cup of Life� by Ricky Martin.
Saturday was blah for everyone.
Sunday, it rained all day, thanks to the leftovers of Hurricane Rita. I mean, I think we almost got 2 inches of rain or more! Jackie and I played Monopoly and she beat me! Then we made dinner (garlic chicken pasta) together.
After that, we watched �To Wong Foo� and played Uno. Sometimes you just gotta forget the housework and spend time with the little crumbsnatcher.
I could tell Jackie was very happy about the weekend.
Last night, I still had insomnia even after being so busy this weekend. I didn�t fall asleep until almost midnight.
Oh well.
Maybe I�ll sleep tonight.
