today i saw the psychiatrist and this week, i also saw the psychologist. so i got a prescription for prozac today and will start tomorrow. he doesn't want to see me for a month. i think i finally have a handle on this thing. and i have lots to do to get ready for the baby shower so that is good and will take me right through march and the baby. then spring will be here and time to plant the flowers. so life is going to go on in spite of me and my issues. thanks to all of you who sent me messages of encouragement. i guess this is one more step in the acceptance of life after stroke. i thought i had done that already but it seems i hadn't. i never thought much about mid life crisises and me. i was never the type of person who had problems like that. but i guess with stroke came a new brain so i need to be prepared for new things now. for right now i just want to grow old gracefully. i have a new appreciation of the eldrly and their problems. i never want to be without an activity for my hands or brain. inactivity breeds unhappieness. marge is a living example of that. she refuses to push herself in any direction. hence her inability to do things with out issue. i refuse to be that rigid. i will keep trying to stay involved in life.

"Good idea, keep trying to stay involved in life". You said it, that's what I do and life gets sweeter and sweeter for me. Some times I do too much, bring in the trash can from the street after pick up, change the filter in the central heat and air unit, clean out the cars, vacuum them out and a host of other things around the house.

 

I don't have time to get bored by just sitting around the house, I'm on the move every day with something I gotta get done. Seems like time passes so darn fast that way.

 

I think 2009 will be a very good year too!

 

 

dear fking. thanks for your response. i couldn't stand not to be doind domething. today after the doc appointment, i went to a craft store and bought stuff to make burp cloths for my pregnant daughter. and i am making pink and white candies for her shower. and a diaper cake. so i have a lot of crafts to do this month. then i'll start making the food for her shower the end of feb. busy busy bee. but it sure beats the alternative of having had a stroke. i could be in the ground!!

Good for you Cathy. It's important to keep occupied. You've got quite a few terrific projects lined up. As it takes about a month for new medications to take affect, that is probably why the psychologist wants to see you in a month. IF you start having any problems though, do not hesitate to call him asap.
