ENERGY!!!!!

Hey everyone.... WOW!!! I can't believe how much freakin energy I have now....I love it....My husband was so worried about after the surgery and what would happen to me and now he is so happy to see how much energy I have....Before the surgery I would lay in all day and not move one inch...I didn't want to function or even exist...Now, it doesn't help that I have bi-polar, that just added to the depression and laziness...But now I can't seem to sleep past 6am and I sleep like a baby...I went to bed at 9pm last night...My kids don't even go to bed that early LOL.....Now for those of you who have been pregnant and you know the glow you get, well everyone says I have that glow and I can feel it too(i'm not pregnant)....I can't stop smiling...Even through all the stuff that has happened to me and my family over this last month I am able to keep a positive attitude....My therapist has been quite surprise with my turn-a-round....I am so glad I did this and changed my life the way I have....If anyone out there has the least bit of doubt as to how things will be after surgery, I am living proof that things will get better for you!!!!! Have a great day.....Helen K.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! I am so glad things are looking up for you and with everything going on in your family you are strong enough to take care of you... Keep up the good work.. You are a trooper!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kell

Hey Kelley, Thank You ....Helen K.

Hi Helen, IM so glad to hear how welll your doing. IM glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel...I am also dealing with depression...I have dealt with it all my life ..as far back as i can remember i have never been REALLY happy. I have a question for you...You said you see a therapist? Were yous eeing a therapist before you had surgery? Did the surgeon have any worries about doing the surgery for that reason? These are questions im worrying about. I have even thought maybe I shouldnt have surgery because of my depression. I start therapy next week so, i hope things work out. Take Care!!! Erika

Helen, How wonderful to be in the frame of mind that you are in. Keep looking up and keep that positive outlook. My daughter is bi-polar so I do understand the trials you go through. Helen, you are living the saying, "You're like fine wine, getting better and better!" Robin

Why is it that I have never gotten this HUGE burst of energy? I still hate getting up in the mornings as much as ever. I have never ever been a morning person and it looks like I never will be. I will admit that now I can take a nap and be fine in 1 hour, ready to go, where as before I would want to sleep all day if I could. My job can keep me up late, I am a night owl, the twins do wake me up at night (cant find their nuks or Dorothy(from Wiggles) and DH gets up at 1am. All this adds to a not so restful night so I am sure that is part of it. I just went on meds for ADD which is making me very tired, but hopefully that will pass soon. I want to be WIDE awake for my trip to Florida to visit the big mouse and his clan. Anyway..................... that is my story. Theresa

Hey Theresa....Well from what your day sounds like and night as far as that goes you deserve to be tired LOL....My son is on Straterra for ADHD so I know the effects these meds have....He was very tired in the beginning but then he started to become an insomniac so be careful....Have fun in good ol Fla..... Helen

Helen, Happy to hear you are doing well and things are moving in the right direction for your daughter's situation. Casey
