Four days post surgery

And doing okay!
Doc was just here from my regular doc's office, Dr. Hayes, another NYC gal, is honest, concise, funny and encouraging! But only an in house hospital doc, oh well.
She did report my labs look good.
Although, my triglycerides are a bit high.
So a little tweaking with a med for that. My PT Dr. Jen has been experimenting with a medication for me to energize me for PT. We so far have tried the lower dosage of 100 mg., and Wednesday he's doubling it to 200 mg. It's used for narcolepsy , jet lag etc.
Any-who, that's all for tonight!
Good night, TTYL!

Endorphins VS. Adrenaline

“An endorphin is a natural pain reliever produced by the body in response to a number of factors. It binds to the parts of the nervous system that bind to morphine, relieving pain and frequently producing a natural high. In contrast to the effects of narcotics, endorphin activity is not addictive. A runner’s high is one response that is thought to be due to the effects of endorphins.
There are a number of endorphins produced by humans. They are neurotransmitters, meaning they transmit signals throughout the nervous system and are found in the brain — specifically in the pituitary gland. A receptor is a molecule that transmits signals, and an endorphin binds to a receptor that morphine and other opiates gravitate to. It is known as an opiate receptor.”
“Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland in the body of many animals. When it is produced in the body it stimulates the heart-rate, dilates blood vessels and air passages, and has a number of more minor effects. Adrenaline …

Called a couple of docs today...

First one was my fairly new neuro, Dr. Lilliana Montoya, her nurse who called me back almost as soon as I left the message with me asking a few questions.
Like the fact that I had lowered my dosage on two medications for my spasms over weeks/months really, Baclofen down to 40 mg. a day unless I need more, which I have and I can take the additional amounts safely, and Gabapentin that I also lowered all the way down to 200 mg. a day. And now with this warmer weather and us going out more often it appears that I am being affected with it, since it has been causing more spasms. I have not been wearing my cooling vest either, since it is so bulky and this one has so many ice packs, too many in my opinion!
I do believe that is probably why, but not absolutly sure.
And apparently they have not received any of my blood work from the GP as of yet.
Angie, her nurse also thought I might want to move up my office visit to this month from my six month one in June, and she said she would ask the d…

I believe in me...

Again I am borrowing what we all have access to and so don’t judge me for lack of originality, but hear me out with my reasoning:

Song: I Believe In You Lyrics

“FRUMP
Hello, Executive Washroom. Oh! Come on down. We're here making plans.

COMPANY
Gotta stop that man.
I've gotta stop that man cold
Or he'll stop me.

Big deal, big rocket,
Thinks he has the world in his pocket.
Gotta stop, gotta stop.
Gotta stop that man.

FRUMP
Now! Look at him standing and staring at himself on the mirror!

FINCH
Now there you are.
Yes, there's that face.
That face that somehow I trust.
It may embrace you, too.
Here me say it.
But say it I must,
Say it I must

You have the cool clear
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet, there's that up turned chin
And the grin of impetuous youth.

Oh, I believe in you,
I believe in you.

I hear the sound of good
Solid judgment whenever you talk.

Yet, there's the bold, brave spring
Of …
