Thursday I wound up staying home all day. I felt like I had drank five pots of coffee. Very anxious, constantly on the move, and unable to focus long enough to complete tasks. I was a pacing and pawing all day long. Dan came home from work to a wife who was chattering a mile a minute about nothing and changing subjects just as fast. He just smiled and said, ya been like this all day?
I started drawing and doodling after supper and it really, really helped to calm me down. It was the most focused I had been able to be all day. After an hour, two pictures and a doodle page, I was able to go to bed and fall asleep. I did wake up a few times during the night but was able to go back to sleep.
I made an appointment to see Dr. Li in one month as per his request.
Today was a pretty good day. I was able to go into Interim for 4 hours. That is the longest I have been in there for some time.
Tomorrow is skating. I have plenty of help lined up, so I should be okay.
The side effects from the florinef are already beginning. My face is already starting to turn red and I think it looks a little puffy. No noticeable difference with my blood pressure yet. Today it was 94/56 and heart rate this am was 95.
