feeling better

The day got better as I remained busy - I did clean house a bit after I got my butt up. Then showered and I met my wednesday night girl friends and helped with some wedding lei's.  It was fun and I felt so much better just being out and taking my mind off myself. My meds have decreased as I said - and now I have switched from the generic effexor to the effexor XR (my ins company finally approved it!).  So... while I was waiting to get on the other one I was decreasing the old one by myself to make due until I got the new med because I was running out.  I think this is where I went wrong but had not choice b/c the old script had no refills.  The timing was just off - oh well.  Today was the first time I took the new prescription and it has seemed to last all day where as the other I had to take twice a day to keep that level in my body.  We will see what tomorrow brings...  I realize I have come along way but it is scary to think that things like that can sneak up on you!  At least I used the resources available to me rather than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself.  I have done a mani and a pedi on myself and that felt good too! And of course did my physical therapy exercise 3 today as prescribed...  but  tomorrow is my big workout day! In addition to my usual upper body workout  my physical therapist has given me to okay to ride the stationary bike now to for 10 mins!
