I am finding myself liking to be at home more and more. I find reasons to not go to places and do things. It isn't because I am getting so much done at home, because I am not. I just want to be here. That said, I am taking Patrick to a psychiatrist appointment this morning. I hope it goes well.
I am going tomorrow to a lapband seminar. I am just so fat, and can't seem to lose the weight myself. I am over 100 pounds of my desired weight, and as such, qualify for lap band systems. If my insurance will pay for it, I am pretty certain that this is something that I am going to do. I just can't seem to do it on my own. I am excited about the seminar tomorrow.
My mental health seems to be holding. My doctor agreed with my completely eliminating Abilify from my medication cocktail. He did increase the dose of one medication, but he reduced another and eliminated the Abilify, so I am OK with that. I would like to reduce my medication more, but that is a waiting game. Can't do too much at one time, as there is no way to tell what medication is helping.
I have to leave now. I have to get Patrick out of bed and ready for his appointment. Happy Friday!

On Jett Travolta

Mel's Mind, January 7, 2009
I met with my psychiatrist yesterday. I didn't take a listing of things that I wanted to speak with him about, and, of course, I didn't remember some of the more important questions I had. Got beaned by Mark when he got home.
One of the more important things I was supposed to talk about was disability, and I didn't remember to bring it up at all. Mark was upset with me. I can't believe I forgot.
I did get my medication issue straightened out, which was a big thing. I also started a medical research study. It is a sleep study with medication. It pays, which is the main reason I chose to be on it. I do have this geeky spy watch that I have to wear. It measures activity levels. I don't know what they are thinking they are going to get from me, certainly not much!
I am certainly sad at the news that Jett Travolta, the son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston, passed away. He was only 16. If you are not up on that story, you can check out a couple of my takes on it through these links: http://www.examiner.com/x-1762-St-Louis-Family-Entertainment-Examiner~y2009m1d3-Loss-of-a-child and http://www.examiner.com/x-1762-St-Louis-Family-Entertainment-Examiner~y2009m1d4-Jett-Travolta-dies-in-Bahamas.
I went to a co-dependent meeting Monday night. A lot of good sharing at that meeting. I always feel better when I leave.
As alway email or or leave a note. I will get back to you soon. My email is patricknjacob@aol.com.

Welcome to the New Year
As usual, I am running late -- I want to wish everyone a prosperous New Year!! Sorry I am late, but my wishes are sincere. I am thinking that 2009 has to be better for me than 2008. It wasn't the worst year I have ever had, but I am thinking that this new year has to be better.
