Medications

 Well as some of you know I've been having anxiety issues in the evenings and havent been sleeping well.  Yesterday I talked to a psychologist and she said with all that has happened so fast, its no surprise I am having he anxiety and prescribed me a medication that will not effect my abbility to return to work and try to keep my mind at ease.  we will see how that goes.  My brain seems to race at night more than any other time and I am sleeping better but have some very busy dreams that keep me tossing and turning.  I am also taking ambien which helps but is not perfect as nothing is.
 
My right hand looks almost normal now, no longer looking sunburned (as much).  My left hand seems to swell more and is stiffer.  My left leg is still numb as well as my left toes, I see neurology on monday to figure that out.  My sister heather got here last night and her and Mom are passing the torch.  Mom was a big help this week getting to my appointments and helping me explain to doctors.
 
All in all everyday is another day and a better day, I cant really complain.
 
Love

PJ,

I'm glad to hear your doing so much better, Arc Flash can be a very traumatic experience as you well know.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,

I just got off of the phone with Eddie Balenbin. He said that he is headed down to see you. I am a little jealous that I can't come visit, but I'll try to get over it. I feel for your racing brain, that and your bodies hunger for something that it doesn't need can get strong at times, but you are a strong willed person. You always win out triumphant.

With Love,

PieEye,

It is amazing how far you have come in such a short time. Please try to take it one step at a time and don't push too hard.

Love You!!!

Brother,
I love you and I wish I was still out there. Kendyl's birthday party went pretty good. Can't wait to see you again.
