One medication dropped, another one takes it's place...

After a mild anxiety attack late last night, my doctor decided that I should stop taking my once a night, 25mg of Nortriptyline. I have now been switched to methadone for pain management.

This situation is extremely stressful for my family and for Jacob. I am trying to keep positive so I can get better not only for myself, but for them as well.

Warning: Cloverfield spoiler!
(Don't make fun of me, I'm just being polite!)

Tonight we went to the movies for the first time since I fell ill. Apparently "Cloverfield" was a bad choice, since I got motion sickness within the first 15 minutes. I rolled myself into the bathroom somehow and allowed myself to experience the savory flavor of the Chinese food I had for dinner once more. My timing couldn't be better... I missed the first shot of the monster and didn't see the Brooklyn Bridge catastrophe.

Either way, it was fun to be out side with Jacob. It was great to get back into acting like my old self again. It was also nice to hit the handicap accessible automatic door button in the mall without feeling like a lazy jerk.

I guess I should try to sleep now. This is where the TLC and Discovery channels prove cable tvs worth.
