Trileptal

I was just poking around & found this tidbit of info....


What is this medicine used for?
• This medicine is used to prevent or control seizures.
• This medicine is used to treat manic depression.
How does it work?
• Oxcarbazepine calms the brain.
• It is a mood stabilizer.

This is my seizure medication. It stopped my seizures dead in their tracks but apparently failed to do any of that other fine stuff it's touted to do. ROFL. Treat manic depression? CALMS the brain?? Mood stabilizer??? It just keeps getting better. I wish it affected me that way! But I'll settle for no seizures. Can't have it all, right? Heeheeeheee. lawdy, lawdy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!

I miss you terribly. Everybody does. I have so many questions for you. So much to tell you. But you probably know all that, huh? Fortunately, Mom is busy at a conference this weekend. Pat & Bart & Mom are coming down to NY next month. Rebecca needs a tooth yanked as part of her orthodontic treatment. What do I do about camp, Dad? Even Karin is refusing my mail. Why are they all so mad at me? The upside is that WOW we have a lot of really, really great friends. David has really grown up & stepped up to the plate. It's about time. Too bad you didn't see it from down here. I'm very proud of him. Only took 40 years, lol. Did you hear Dave Lockwood wishing you a Happy Birthday? I haven't been able to reach Eben. He is so busy. Have you been watching KPTI? The money raised for your internet registry is amazing. We miss you down here, Dad. Say "HI!" to everyone up there. And don't trip on the small clouds. ;)

I love you & am so proud of all you've done. Love, Beth
