I heard from Just Me this morning, of all things she was checking in on my daughter's procedure and on my son. She admits, she's more worried for my son (because of the state of his mental health) than my girl this morning.
There is more to do at the hospital and that is helping pass the time, to stay engaged. Although she prefers to be alone just because of sensory issues; but then staff could see that as troublesome.
She's had her labs drawn, seen an OT for an evaluation, seen the doctors and is happy to be starting the new med tomorrow. Finally. She just wants to get on with it already.
As for the first night, Just Me says she slept okay, all things considered. Plus, she actually ate today. It's been nice to have the pressure off of her while this is going on, so I think she's really relieved to be there.
Oh, and she did cry on the phone with her mom, who is taking care of some things at Just Me's place because she was so unwell recently.
Thanks for the messages, she's really appreciated all of them. Keep'em coming.

About Me
- Just Me
- Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.
In Case
Please note that any patient experiences noted in this blog are heavily edited to disguise events. Similarities to real persons are coincidental.
Please also know that while I speak as a professional at times, I am not a doctor. I have strong opinions, some based on professional training and/or experience, some based on research, and some based on personal experience of my own variety of this illness. Therefore what I say is my opinion, not a fact and doctors should always be consulted.

I too have suffered from severe depression. I was almost hospitalized for it earlier this year. I think it's great that you've made this decision for yourself and have taken the steps to take care of yourself. Julia is right. You are very very brave.
Great to hear the news, JustMe. I'm so glad you're YOU!
Still impressed, still praying, with love, Michal
...always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.
Colossians 4:12 (NIV)
Just Me,
Thinking of and praying for you.
