Hello everybody! It’s been a little while since my last entry, so I thought it was about high time I updated!
This might be a bit choppy because I still can’t concentrate very long. But, how have I been, you ask?
Honestly, I’m starting to feel well again. I’ve been put on an antipsychotic and the voices in my head have quieted and I finally feel like my thoughts are mine and mine alone again.
I’m still in hospital on the psychiatric ward until my lithium and valproate serum levels normalize, but I’m hopeful that in the psychiatric medicinal side of things, this new medication I’m taking called risperidone will continue to bring such positive results.
I only had one mini-seizure yesterday, and before that I hadn’t had one for nearly a week, so that’s good. My doc thinks they are probably caused by stress, which I didn’t know was even a thing. Just to make sure and be thorough, I’m scheduled for an EEG on April 5 at HSC, and to be honest, I’m pretty scared. Anyone wanna volunteer to come hold my hand while I get wires strapped all over my head? After that, they give the results of the EEG to a neurologist and he/she decides whether or not I need a CT scan. My hunch is that it will be fine and I won’t need to go that far.

Quite a mindful! But I switch to a different book after every chapter, so I can read a lot of books at the same time.
Today I’m grateful for:
- The lovely dinner/bookstore date my husband took me on today
- Lestat is fitting in so well with the other cats here.
- McDonald’s double cheeseburgers. Not a lie. They’re like crack burgers when you come back south from being on the 63rd Latitude after 4 months lol
How did your day go, guys? What are you reading? I love comments so feel free to leave some below! Peace out.
