The Lyrica made me dizzy yesterday. Interesting to see the effects of just Lyrica - the effects I was having when I was building up on it previously were mostly the Trileptal effects, being amplified by the Lyrica in some way.
Fibro-wise, I'm ouchy - a week in bed has not done wonders for a condition that requires exercise, and a week of sleep deprivation has not done wonders for a condition that requires sleep. So yes, I'll need to be resting a lot this week - but I also desperately need exercise, and I need to not push myself to pre-hospital levels of exercise right away. Start with shorter walks. Maybe haul out the yoga DVD.
Allergic reaction to the cardiac electrodes is *driving me crazy*. *whimper* Owie. Itchy red blistery swollen owie.
Today
Electrode removal around 10; electrode replacement for the ambulatory EEG at noon. Shower and hair-washing in between! *cheers* And the ambulatory will only last three to five days. So I'll look awfully silly at the doctor's office and Elayna's bus stop, but ah well.
Elayna
I must find a way to reward her. She's been wonderful throughout this. I told her last night that I was very, very proud of her for the way she's handling this. She's been behaving for Adam and her grandma, her school stuff hasn't suffered, and - it's difficult to have your mom in the hospital, and she has handled it with confidence and grace. She deserves something special.

Beautiful poster of the periodic table! I want this. We have a poster of the periodic table in our living room, but it's very plain.
Daily BPAL
No new imps to sample, sadly. :(
I need to do this. I love all of the scents except the hard candy one, but this one in particular was *made* for my body chemistry: A double-dose of seedy that oozes rough-and-tumble sexuality while promoting vice-driven profitability! Volcanic red musk, vanilla bean, Queen Elizabeth root, red ginger, skin musk, black leather, honeycomb, honeysuckle, magnolia, and patchouli.
Of all of those notes, magnolia and patchouli are the only ones that aren't *wondeful* on me. If those two are subtle? This thing will be ungodly delicious on me.
$50 to submit to the Trick or Treat Inquisition. (You get a shirt, too.) But after this week, I deserve it! Just wish I had the money. Must sell stuff, must take a picture of that suede suit... I have considerably more energy now that I'm off the Trileptal, so I might actually manage that in the near future.
EDIT
Adam says I need to tell you that I posted this last night, because not everyone reads at night. 10Q.
