The Neurologist Reports

Friends,
I have heard back from the neurologist. The good news is that all my problem stuff in my blood is back to normal. The neuro is not sure what happened, but they’re back where they should be (tee hee!). Thanks be to God! The bad news is that this means that everything I’ve been feeling is due to restless legs syndrome, although the bone pain is a little sketch.
Furthermore, she has taken me off the Requip (!) and has substituted Clonazepam for it, just at a higher dose than when I was on it about a year and a half ago. I still can take the Gabapentin if I think it’s helping. I don’t know if it is or not. I will find out.
I know that there are more important things to pray about, like peace and ending abortion but I do appreciate those who can spare prayers for me. My sleep is carppy and it takes me quite a while to fall asleep. I’m sleepy in the daytime and it’s creeping into my schoolwork (for my cartography exam I saw 13 points that I missed due to being too tired. 13! That would have given me almost an A on the exam). I really am hoping that the Clonazepam at a higher dose can give me the sleep that I need without any daytime sleepiness.
Emotionally I am feeling like shirt, as well. I don’t know what really is going on. I do need to keep tabs on myself since I’m prone to depression. I hope that this is just normal blues and not anything long term. Part of me knows that good comes out of everything, even the hurts and the frustration but part of me wants to just give into despair. Granted, I’m really super tired and perhaps my emotions are just bringing to my attention the sleepiness that my body feels.
:/
I pray everyone else is having a better Monday today…
Pax!

I’m sorry you’re day is being, how did you put it, carppy (maybe a little trout wouldn’t be amiss). I’ll keep you in my prayers (see, if I pray for you, you’ll become a better person, and your prayers will have more power to end abortion and what not. See, reason for it).
Anyway, if you have a bad Monday, the week can really only get better (short of steamrollers taking down your car). So, perk up!
