Hoo-Rah....Just got back from Parris Island, SC for Jamie's godson's graduation from Marine Corp Bootcamp. Godson had stayed with us right before he went in. I could not believe the change in him this visit. It is taking him a little while to adjust not being yelled at 24/7. And he lost so much weight! But it was a great time. We stayed in the house where Forrest Gump was filmed right on the water....It was beautiful. There is an albino dolphin that roams the waters there, but unfortunatly we did not see it. I did ok.....Had some panic with the crowds at graduation, but nothing major, I got through it. On the last day we went and had brunch at a wonderful resturant, but I did not make it all the way through. Had to leave, started breathing weird, heart pounding etc...It is so damn embarrasing!!! But thank god, Jamies friends were understanding about it. We never told them about the bipolar. I just said I have panic attacks occasionally. On the drive back, we stopped at South of the Border. It is hard to explain what it is...a huge sombraro roadside stop, with fireworks (which we bought) and cheap trinkets. We found out later that for $99, we could have gotten married, stayed in the honeymoon suite, and had access to the Pleasure Dome. I was scared to ask what exactly what the Pleasure Dome is LOL. I dont think I want to know. But now I am back home. Same ol same ol...back to the grind. The requip seems to be doing ok, it is def fixing my restless leg stuff at night. But I am needing more sleep. Jamie says I am sleeping better during the night too... Not feeling any depression. some anxiety though...but that may be situational and not med related. Who knows....it has not slowed my thoughts though (which is what we were hoping) and I feel ansy sometimes. Right after I take it, sometimes I get a rush to my brain (its hard to describe). but if I get up and move around it seems to help. I go back to the dr tomorrow for a check up on it....
