Positive morning
by electrochick @ Thursday, 24. Apr, 2008 - 12:45:51

Ok so I had my weekly review this morning. I had hubby with me today to add weight to what I said, and to speak on my behalf.

I've had 12 ECT's now, and the trend is upwards. I've been worried all week that they'll think I've had enough and stop the treatment now.

That absolutely terrified me. To think that I'm part-way to recovery, and they might abandon me there. But I needn't have worried. Hubby did well for me.

I'm booked for another 2 - with review next Thursday, and my meds have been increased. And a deal has been struck: ECT is only licensed for a certain number of times. If I need (and want) more, then I can sign to accept responsibility for further ECTs. And I can have maintenance ECT.

This is such a relief. I've been working myself up to this all week, and now I know it'll be ok afterall.

I'm going to get my life back :P

**********

Oh and a bonus side-effect of this, is that I have less headaches, toothache :??:, and (so far) I've lost just over half a stone in weight! WooHoo! ;D

So what do you have to do?

Sign up to a "I hereby declare that I am willing to be hooked up to the national grid and will be happy to cause a power drain like that scene in The Simpsons first season when Dr Marvin Munroe hooks them all up to shock chairs"

or summink?

;)

I am so glad the trend is upwards though.

And big cheers for hubby for fighting your corner.

Hopefully Classicrockchic will be back with us and blogging like an enthusiastic blogging thing high on blog juice soon.

Thanks :)

Seems strange doesn't it, to want to be hooked up to the National Grid lol. But yep. I do.

I'm hoping it won't be long before I can get back to my Classicrockchick persona, and hassle everyone on their blogs Mwahahahah.

:)
