Thursday it is........

Mary, I take 1.5 mg of Klonopin at bedtime along with the Lexapro. It makes me forgetful. Before I was takig 1.75 mg at bedtime and was depressed half the day AND dopey. When I asked my doctor a year or 2 ago about why I felt the way I did, he said it was the Klonopin and I would feel better being off of it. It has a very long half life, it stays in the system for a long time. I tried Xanax about 15 years ago but my doctor had me off the antidepressants and I was depressed.

Arlene,

Good Afternoon Mary and OFF,

Well, it seems I had a long post almost complete, when I got interrupted, and my laptop shut down, and I lost everything.

I've been watching Frankie, so Mommy and Daddy could go to the kids' school, and see their holiday program, and help with their class parties.  While Frankie watched Mickey Mouse, and Paw Patrol, I wrapped books for Colleen to give the kids while they are driving the 12 hours back to Pennsylvania on Saturday.  She wraps surprises for them, and gives them to the kids every few hours, to break up the boredom.  Some of the books I got at the school book fair, others from the book party I had a few weeks ago.

I went to the kids' program at church last night.  Felt good to be back there.  I sat while the kids decorated sugar cookies, and of course ate them.  Felt bad, because the other adults were running around getting the kids stuff.  

Must scoot.

Mary,

After my WLS, around the sixth month, I started losing my hair and I had huge bald spots all over my head.  I kept getting it cut and it kept falling out and finally, the guy who cuts my hair said, let's shave it off and let it come back fre****'s still thin but not like it was.   Hats are so stylish and scarfs too.
