Just when I wanted to stop my antidepressant, the dr. explained she was looking into hospice care for Dave.  I took the pill.  While it may be early, she explained, it may help in getting a better mattress.  So, it has been three days without taking the drug and I feel better.  Sometimes, it is better to be less drugged.  I seem less sleepy for one thing.

Dave continues to take lasik which helps with his swelling.  Throughout this journey, it has been most difficult to see Dave in pain.  Tylenol, three times a day helps too.

A friend expressed her dislike of nursing homes and is trying to get 24 hour care.  If nothing else, I know I am doing the right thing having Dave home.
