  1. I planned, booked, and paid for a vacation from caregiving for myself and Sis as a companion, at the end of this month. Then Hubby was admitted to the hospital yesterday and they are talking about hospice care, in-patient.

    We were going to Los Angeles, then on to Catalina Island for four nights, and two nights in Hollywood to visit with old friends from our hometown. Most of this was purchased non-refundable. I am hoping I can just reschedule instead of losing roughly 5k.

    This has been a trying few days. The paramedics had to call the police to forcibly remove him from the house as he would not cooperate with anyone. He said he wanted a court order or to be arrested to take him to the hospital.

    Then, to top it off, I fell trying to get into the ambulance, which has a very high step, possibly tearing my meniscus.

    Oy, what a day(s) I've had today.

    I am sad and in pain. Mostly sad. I miss the hubby I used to have. We went to Catalina together once and he would get a boner while we were frolicking in the pool. That will not happen again I am sad to say.

    I'm sorry your going through this


  2. Ok, thank you. I'm not taking with food. Do you find it makes you tired or wires you? Since we bumped up dosage I find I get a little more sedate. I'm starting to take PM now. I'll start to take with dinner.< /p>

    the way it hits me is sedative so I always take it after dinner with my other night time meds. I'm glad I could help working in a psych office has its perks


  3. Hi everyone. I had my sleeve 1 1/2 years ago and hit goal for the most part. In the perfect world I would be down another 8 lbs. but I am 5'7" tall and weigh 163 lbs. from 247 lbs. I recently started a new med called Latuda for anxiety to go with my Lexapro. I've been on Lexapro for years and I'm used to the side effects. It's been for the most part weight neutral for me. From what I've read, the Latuda is supposed to be weight neutral, however I think it has increased my appetite a bit. My question for those of you on meds that increase your appetite is, what have you done to combat this? I've done so well and I feel great on the meds but don't want to gain. Suggestions??

    I work in a psych office and am on latuda my self are you taking it with food it is weight nuetral but I find I get hungry with it on an empty stomach

I also like crochet bit have carpal tunnel so can't do it much oh and I also love football and play fantasy football as well
