rest day

Rest day

I tried to sleep till noon but it didn’t happen. I woke up when my med alarm went off and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I just stayed in bed. My legs are sore. I have diarrhea and I feel lousy. I messaged my doc and she wants me to drink a lot of water and Gatorade. I bought the rehydration stuff that I like as I wasn’t going to CVS today. Walgreens doesn’t sell it. I am glad Star Market does. I got some other things.

I have been laying with the puppy most of the day to rest. The little shit took up the whole full bed. I had a little space to lay. But she cuddled with me so that was ok. I took some pics of her on me to remember it. She looks like a puppy still even though she is a year old. She is a young dog. She hasn’t peed or crapped yet. But then she hasn’t eaten or drank anything either. She doesn’t when her mother isn’t home. She is a weird dog. I tried to get her to go out but she kept turning around when I opened the door.

I had my appt with my psychiatrist today. He decided to decrease the Latuda to 30 mg to see if that lessens the fatigue and tiredness I feel. I made Shepard’s Pie for dinner. It is cooling off right now. I will have some when I finish the blog. I forgot to get gravy so I hope it isn’t dry. I used roasted garlic protein mashed potatoes. They tasted ok. Not as garlicky as I thought they would be.

I have been sneezing most of the day. It is driving me crazy. I hope to watch the Muppet Show before bed. I wanted to watch it last night but I needed sleep. I took some Ativan and fell asleep within an hour. I did wake up around 330am to pee but I was able to get back to sleep. Right now I got to keep my fluid intake up. If I get lightheaded again, I need to go to the ED per my pcp. I don’t know what is causing the diarrhea. I thought it was the senna but I didn’t take it last night. I took magnesium so I took that out of my box for tonight. I am eating different foods so not sure if it is a food thing or a supplement issue. I need a shower so bad but I am too tired. I will try and take one tomorrow. I am seeing my DMH worker tomorrow, or at least I am going to try and go into Boston. I plan on walking to the T stop that is a half mile away from me. I will have the weekend to rest.
