Boy- it's been a while......

The problem about blogging is you have to be in the right mood. For the last 4-5 months moods have changes with a different concoction of medicines. I still have depacote in my life- is it good or bad - most people I know say Yes. But the depacote eats away my stomach. as soon as I take it - my GERD and stomach indigestion start. I need to remain upright for 2-3 hours after taking the medicine so it totally works it's way to my lower intestines. Last week I had my 8th Endoscopy (my GERD is that bad). I had the procedure at 4pm and took my depacote at 9:30am. The GI Dr. said the Depacote and Prilosec were still in my esophagus and had not worked their way down to my stomach. So now I schedule my evening Depacote at 6pm and AM Depacote at 9am- followed with a walk , a workout and task that makes me upright for 2-3 hours. I still need the seroquel to sleep- in fact I've added over the counter benadryl. Sleep is peaceful - but not ready to go back to work. Given all the things going wrong in the econlomy now -perhaps it's a good thing that I'm not working with any "mood" problems.

I need to blog more.
