Fluoxetine up to 60mg daily

[kevyn]

Had a followup appointment with the P.A. at Interfaith Medical Clinic this morning (which is why I missed DVR Job Club today).

We've upped the Fluoxetine to 60mg/day, close to where I was before back in the 1990s.

No comment from her on my blood pressure: 140/90. Pulse: 80 bpm. Weight: 389 lbs. She did ask if I was getting any exercise, to which I answered "yes, some" -- which is true. I've been taking guests and friends up to the Sehome Hill Arboretum a lot lately, which gets me out of the house.

If all goes well, with school registration, then I won't have to see the staff at Interfaith anymore - I'll be a student come January and have access to the Student Health Centre, which has far superior care to the free clinic.

i totally FORGOT job club!

we must to the arboretum at some point.
i imagine it would be really good exercise for me, as well.

so, if you get access to the student health centre, will you be allowed more choices than the fluoxetine, too?

Then I don't feel so bad. I guess someone needs to remind you of things, too?

Yes, lets do! But we'll need George to come along - I imagine it will take 2 of us to carry your wheelchair up to the observation deck.

Yes, and cheap too ($10/month). The only reason I am on the fluoxetine is because the state wouldn't pay for what I was on before, sertraline.

observation deck??

Well, you could watch us from down at the bottom -- but the view of Bellingham makes it worthwhile! It's not accessible, but I'd be fine with carrying you up the stairs, if someone would help me.

I am glad things are coming along for you. Did you have a good visit with your mom all said and done?

[kevynjacobs.livejournal.com]

More or less. I survived it OK, and she's agreed to continue to fund my housing while I finish up school, so it was a worthwhile trip.

But more importantly, I got to see my mom again.

Yay, it was scary for awhile there. At some point the balancing act will be second nature and automatic.

Come visit me in Vancouver sometime. We'll go for dimsum or something.

Ehhh, after 23 years, I think this is about as automatic as it gets.

That would be fabulous! I love Vancouver Dim Sum.

How many more classes (semesters?) do you have left?

[kevynjacobs.livejournal.com]

Western's on the Quarter (not semester) system.

I have 2 or 3 left to go, depending on who you ask.
