I was recovering from surgery on my gums to treat an abcess from a root canal. I remember because I had stitches hanging out of my mouth while we were at our annual Presidents’ Day Weekend Retreat. It looks like deja vu all over again. The pain is back with a vengeance, up into my [...]
I’ve been having a lot of dreams lately co-starring someone I used to know. At one point during therapy back in North Jersey, we’d discussed what this person represented, and it essentially came down to me, or the aspects of myself that I denied or didn’t like. Over the last couple of weeks, this person [...]
My back is killing me. My house is a mess, and I can’t bend over. I can get the kids to help a bit after school, but they have tons of homework, and music lessons tonight. I haven’t been forced to sit still for so long since I was confined to bed for the end [...]
It’s been painful, way down low, off and on for a couple of weeks and really bad for the last five days. The kids have had to help me with pretty much anything that involves bending forward without holding onto something. So I was really happy when I felt a lot better this morning (after [...]
I woke up this morning thinking that the allergies were just worse than usual. Oh, heavens, no! I’m all sploogy and red and raw and sore now, and of course, can’t take anything for it. I looked all over to see if I could find the Vicks Vapo-Rub. It burns when it first goes on, [...]
Last night’s meetup was just me and Steve, but he gave me some hints as a Meetup veteran on how to get things more active, so that’s on the agenda. Last night’s sleep was pretty poor. Add to the normal wakeups the fact that it’s awfully hard to sleep with sticky things all over your [...]
This morning I went in to Weight Watchers, down another 2.2 pounds. Total of 9.8, so I’ll have to wait until next week to make a big deal about losing 10 pounds at the meeting. I went straight to the cardiologist for the sticking-on of my 24 hour Holter Monitor (I thought it was Halter, [...]
Actually, I’m mostly drained from my first visit with a new therapist. Going all over stuff and recapping history and all that rot is something that really sucks all the energy out of you. That and the fact that it’s raining. Again. Ugh. Good thing, though, this doc has ADD himself, and has a child [...]
OK, I guess in addition to smelling coolant, I’m a bit oversensitive to smells in general. Yesterday we were in the middle school auditorium for an orientation, and a woman came in and sat near me, and her body odor was overwhelming. To me, at least. I looked around, and it did seem like I [...]
And the anti-allergen filters are in. I have no way of smelling if there’s a difference, because over the last few days I’ve been overwhelmed by the smell of car air conditioner coolant. The smell is not real, olfactory hallucinations are another symptom of paxil withdrawal. However, if I wake up in the morning and [...]
