Howdy, folks!
It's been quite a while since I've been posting... apparently, I am not a blogger. :D
So latest news since last post (which was early March)...
I had two seizures end of March (which was triggered by a medical test that I had done). I nearly broke my nose, definitely broke a tooth, and was very nicely bruised on my face. I healed well.
With my doc's okay: I am weaning off phenobarbital as it interferes with other medications that I need to be on. Phenobarbital is not a nice guy when it comes to working together with other meds. Onfi is now the med that I'm on - primarily for the absence seizures that I probably have. My VNS (vagus nerve stimulator) can not stop these seizures, but it seems to be working very well to prevent the tonic-clonic and myoclonic seizures that I have. This is the FIFTEENTH medication that I have tried. So hopefully, Onfi works for me without the dreaded side effects that have plagued me.
It's now the beginning of June. I have moved from my old place where I learned how to live alone, on my own. Now I am in a new place where I believe it will be my final move. I love the place. It is right next to the mall where I can go walking in safety. A friend of mine is also moving to the same building that I reside in. She will be moved in end of this month. We plan on walking together and all that. It is an exciting opportunity to start anew and to create a HOME. The previous place did not feel like it could be a HOME. This place does.
I feel much happier and more stable. I'm waking up without feeling like I want to sleep in more because ugh, day coming... No. Now I wake up and feel like welcoming the day. (Yes, Purple bounces onto me when he senses that I'm awakening so he doesn't really let me sleep in, lol.)
And speaking of Purple Sparkles, my sweet kitty boy... he seems to be much happier in this place even with things still unpacked. He likes his food. Aka, he just started being fed adult kibble. I chose Iams, hairball control - chicken and salmon flavors. He likes it very much and I'm very happy about that. Also, I've started feeding him wet food every evening. He especially likes salmon and tuna. So I get him the Iams wet food as they're perfectly portioned and I don't have to fuss with cans or anything like that.
I doubt people read this, but I'm blogging anyway because I feel the need to share parts of my life with the world plus it helps me to put things down in writing. So a public journal? I suppose. :)
Hope you have a wonderful time! Until the next post!
Sunny
