It has now been three weeks since I started on my new drug regimen. I have been most grateful that the worst side effect has been the constant tiredness. Probably the most frustrating has been the fog of my brain. (This is probably most frustrating for the people who live with and around me!) I am not one to take naps, or even sit down for extended periods of time. There is always just sooooo much I want to do!! The past weeks I have rested more than I have in a very long time, and slept in until 8 or 9 o'clock almost every morning. I haven't slept in that late for probably years! Still, I have managed reasonably well, and I have been told that my body will adjust and I will get back to being.....well.....me. I have spent my resting days working on backing up my computer, reading, and yes, starting this blog. All things that I have been meaning to take the time to do, but hadn't.
Today, I have been most grateful that although I did sleep in until 8:00, I had the energy and the desire to actually be productive! I did a little sewing, a little painting, and even a little cleaning. It felt wonderful!! While I know I still have some adjustment time ahead, I am encouraged and happy to have today. I am hopeful that tomorrow will bring another productive day, and then I take the meds again. By then I may be ready to rest......it's a great excuse to goof off!
More Gratitude:
-Run Pee - It's a great phone app that tells you the best time to run to the bathroom during a movie. It also tells you what you'll miss, and if there are out takes after the movie that you should stay to see. There's even a timer to help you remember.
-Sonic - It's Hubby's golf night, and I don't even have to worry about what I look like! I know it's bad, but who cares!
