Just when things are getting better the bottom falls out. Well the had me feeling prity good on a fist full of different meds, and one of them made my blood pressure sky rocket. So now I am off everything for an other 10 days and it sucks. Tha pain is horable. I guess its for the best I didnt want to add BP meds too, but tylenol doesnt work on my pain so heat and ice are the only thing I am using. On a good note my dad is doing better. Thank God and we have a good weekend planned. I keep watching the comedy channel hopeing laughter will help. Too much hurts too. Well Keep smiling its going to be a long 2 weeks.

So my dad is doing ok. we are a week out and physicaly he is good. They say his memory will come back a bit. Thank God. And I am happily on Celexia new anti depressant. it seems to be working. Yeah. The kids were so cute on Haloween and well behaved. Things are back to being good.

I guess most of my being depressed was about my dad. He is 68 and has always looked like he just left a concentration camp. You could see every bone in his body. Despite being soo grossly skinny he has always been active, well about a month a go he started forgetting things that were part of his daily life. He went to his doc and after 68 years they finally tested his thyroid. It was so hyper active they rushed him to emergancy surgery. Go figure. To boot my mom was a doc her self and she never thought to have him tested. Well in a matter of 2 days he is home doing well and back to normal telling his usual very bad jokes that we have all heard amillion times. And shockingly sitting at my desk today I realised that I am feeling better. So even though I am in pain always It wasnt my pain or kids. Who would have thunk it.
