Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


July the medical review … (spoiler, gross stuff in this entry)

Did you know 1 in 3 people has depression? I could put suffers from depression, but I hate that.

Went off Imipramine due to dryness of mucous membranes to the point of bloody noses and weight gain. It also wasn’t helping. I was in a pretty dark place. And it didn’t help that it was the week that Matt was out of town.

Went on to Ludiomil which gave me such life-like vivid nightmares I woke up screaming. I stayed on it a week. Went off.

Had extra side effect of constipation from both drugs. And I wouldn’t put this in here except it scared me so much I thought I’d let you it happens pretty regularly (according to my doc.) Ended up with a rectal prolapse. I’m ok now, but it freaked me out. If you ever need more info just give me a call.

That was two days before surgery. And today I’ve got a sore stomach, but the lump in the middle is gone and that is great.

In about two months I’ll be in Hawaii. I won’t have a bikini bod. But given everything that’s gone on. That’s ok.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
