Well we now know why Monte is seizing, falling, unable to talk, twitching etc....As you know he moved back to Port Alberni temporarily so he could see his GP, his magical GP there.
He saw the doctor very shortly after arriving in Port. The doctor immediately sent him off to the lab for a zillion tests. But he did make one comment...he couldn't believe or understand why and how his lithium dose was so high. And not only high he was not taking the doses properly so his levels would spike extremely high then crash to very very low.
Today Monte was back to get his lab results etc. and the dr. told him that he is 100% sure that he was suffering lithium overdose. And when you do the extra depth research, Monte was suffering every side effect that was listed. In fact the dr. hauled out the text book where the side effects were listed and read them out loud to Monte. So tonight we have a super relieved and happy hopeful Monte on the one hand and on the other he's pretty ticked off that a very good credible psychiatrist, who did the prescribing, here in Kamloops could not be aware of this. He has to let it go though. Such a relief.
And another awesome thing today...I GOT MY HAIR PERMED.....its curly again!!! Its not long enough to put up in a poof yet but it will be!!!! And not only that, the hairdresser pointed out that all over my head are extremely healthy three inch baby hair!!!! My hair is growing back in!! So I should be back to my normal self in about...hmmm maybe a year. I can wait!
I did something this morning I haven't done in forever. Yesterday I bought a tiny package of stew meat. So I threw it and a bunch of onions in the crockpot. It cooked whilst I had my hair done. Then when I got home I threw in turnips, carrots, potatoes etc...and made a delicious stew!!! I also bought a ton of short ribs which I shall cook up when all the kids are here on the long weekend.
Okay so now I am rambling. I shall sign off! TTYL
To both Monte and you! Happy Happy Happy!
