Good morning Jill. I must say, your vote of confidence does me a world of

good. And I'm serious too. Just starting this morning was one hell of a

challenge: the kids are, I think, a little mad at me for having been away

for over two weeks. And even tho I'm home again, I'm still not " myself "

again. I don't know if I'll ever be that person again. I had my breakfast

and took my morning drugs, and I'm waiting for the Xanax to hit so my heart

can stop leaping all over my chest. I'm SO JUMPY its awful. I'm not

convinced I want to be here, even tho I must say I'm married to the most

wonderfully kind and supportive husband. He's been great and I think will

continue to be great, but I have got to get my head together or I won't

survive here. Apparently I have to take one or more of the kids shopping

for a winter coat tonight. I'd rather not, but choices sure get limited.

Thank god my RLS is mostly under control - my only problem is I can't

remember if I'm still taking the Sinemet or not!!!! I know the Nuerontin

works great, but the med list from the nurse at the hospital didn't include

the Sinemet, so I suspect I'm not taking that. It is a real pain not being

able to remember small details. Apparently this will come back over time,

but for now I'm frustrated. I would love to just run away one more time and

let someone nurse me back into proper shape: I don't think I have the

luxury of that option tho. However, we would certainly have fun!!!!!! I

appreciate the offer because it makes me smile, and I could use a smile or

two today. Well, off to my first therapy appointment .....

Hugs,

Eve
