W1AD10
this is week 1 day 0 of aricept (donepezil) 10 mgm
today i start the 10 mg dose of aricept (donepezil)
have been on the 5 mg dose now for 4 weeks
have gotten adjusted to the medication with only a few side
effects
have vivid dreams(last night i worked at factory to earn extra
money for medical school and also found out i had to take another
chemistry class to go to medical school the night before i
worked in a poor undeserved rural clinic in southern arkansas)
am actually enjoying the dreams as they are like a tv show im
watching
one side effect is my sleep patterns are affected
ok i still fall asleep on people like ive done since college
that did not change
another side effect is the increased energy during the days
get er done is my new motto

with my tv show dreams

I turn 50 this year and I have to tell you that these "signs" are a little horrifying. Today's sign especially worries me. I often have trouble finding the right word. Sometimes I feel like i am playing the $10,000 Pyramid Game. Remember that game show, where you had to give clues to a partner in the form of characteristics. My special word will be something really hard, like "plate" and my mind comes up with ROUND;FLAT;WHITE;FOOD GOES ON IT;EAT;DAMMIT!
ReplyDeleteThsi is a test to see if i have done this correctly
ReplyDeleteHELLO, ORGANICGREENDOCTOR..

HERE IS THE KICKER. I HAVE AN ARE THAT IS ABOUT TWO FOOT BY TWO FOOT AND IN FULL SUN WILL NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING CLOSE TO A TOMATO THAT YOU WOULD BRING INTO THE HOUSE. DID YOU KNOW THAT ROSE BUSH FOOD MAKES A MUTANT TOMATO?

ReplyDeletelooks like your spell checker isnt worikng
have occassionally had problems with cpl bulbs
but not a usual occurrence
you need 6 hours of sunlight to raise
tomatoes
you should be able to raise at least one good
tomato-good soil, compost, organic fertilizer,
moisture usually works
also can grow them in large pots
