Why, Yes, I'm Still Alive!

Hello friends!  Here is a little update for y'all.

Two days ago, I got the tease of my life.  I woke up Tuesday morning and went to work and felt like a million bucks.  No back pain, no headache, no nausea, no dizziness, no brain lag......NOTHING.  It has been years since I felt like that!  What a taste of the good life.  Then the afternoon rolled in.  The way I put it to my husband...."I feel like life just gave me the biggest tease.  Life can suck it".  I wanted to cry.  I don't cry.  It takes quite a bit to make me cry.  Most generally I never cry from pain, I've dealt with that too much.  I will cry if I am extremely angry and I mean pissed beyond imagination.  That afternoon, I just wanted to be alone and bawl my little eyes out.

Yes, the brain lag is back.  Right there along with the dizziness.  Thank goodness the nausea is completely gone. I have realized that I do not need to drive at night until the brain lag clears up.  Moving my head back and forth to check for cars just sends my head in a tailspin and at night with not being able to see well; it's kind of scary.  Yesterday I had HORRIBLE back pain but I am happy that is better today.  Thank goodness for our hot tub.  Even just 15 minutes makes a huge difference.

I am not giving up.  I will not get back on the Celexa.  I loved the feeling I had Tuesday morning knowing my body was free of any medication.  I also very seldom drink a Dr. Pepper during the day or even at home.  Mostly if we go out to eat.  That feels great too.  Something changed in my taste buds I guess when I quit the medication.  Things will turn around, I have no doubt.  I just have to be patient and allow my body to adjust.

Work is going excellent.  This has been one of my two busiest months and I have stayed right on top of it.  So excited about that.  I decorated my desk for Halloween today after work so that will be a nice change of scenery for a bit.

Tonight we stopped by to see Staci and Mr. Kaden and was blessed to get to see Trina and her bunch!  It was nice to allow them to be able to almost completely eat supper while Rusty and I watched the littlest ones.

Now we are home, enjoying the awesome weather and getting ready to hit the hay.  I still love the great sleep I'm getting.  Just ready for the exhaustion part of this to end.  Well, I'm ready for all of it to end but ya know!

I'll be patient because it's gonna be awesome!
