Well, tonight we are going to see the pdoc for my husbands monthly appt. Hopefully, everything goes well. There really isn't anything for my husband to change. The risperadol and lexapro seem to be the best combo so far in that they don't leave him spacey or drooling. He's able to enjoy more alertness than on any others in the past. The only thing is that my husband may bring up his emotional baggage. I don't know. He's got some unresolved issues in his mind. He doesn't like to talk very much to anyone but me. He has to at work, but he never likes to talk on the phone. He doesn't even like facebook anymore and even though people message him, etc. I have to encourage him to answer them back. (Friends he's known from his hometown and even his relatives...) The interesting thing is that he will talk to his pdoc about things, but his pdoc doesn't talk much either. And so they talk in this little emotional table tennis match: Pdoc: How've you been? Hubby: Okay for the most part. Pdoc: What do you mean? Hubby: Depressed some. Pdoc: Look up, not down. Hubby: Okay Pdoc: Good, we will keep you on the current meds. Tonight, I'm making a list out for my hubby to bring up. He will do it, I'm sure. That ought to add a couple of more lines to their conversation.....lol YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!!!! IF I DID...ANYONE CAN.
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.” Lewis B. Smedes
