HAPPY TO BE BACK

Dear fellow blog friends, and loyal followers,

You will be surprised to see a post from me, but circumstances have changed since my last post and I want to explain the reason for my return. In January I had a consultation with a neurologist  to see the result of a brain scan, (which is fine by the  way) and my lack of balance was also discussed. The neurologist perscribed a medication which she felt would help with my equalibrium. but my behavior had to be monitored, because in the elderly there was a possability of developing depression. Eva phoned me every day to find out how I was, and I told her that I felt extreme tirdness and that my vision had worsened so much that I had stopped blogging. Eva knew how much it meant to me, and could hardly believe what I had done.All this time,it never occured to me that my mood had altered because of the new medication, I just thought that endless rainfall and dark grey days were the reasons for my down hill behaviour. I just wanted to sleep and the thought lingered that I may be going blind. Fortunately Eva came one day and took out the paper inside the box of medication and read out the side effects. there was a long list but what was instantly apparent was I had been spiraling into depession, Depression was one of the side effects, but vision alterations and exesive fatigue were two more, and inpulsive actions another. I imediately stopped taking the medication, and gradually began to recover. My eyesight is no longer blurred and I feel that a great weight has been lifted from my mind. I am so releived and happy to be returning to blogland. Thank you again for your support and friendship- I shall treasure all your kindness for ever. Hugs to everyone. Until next time,
