Dear Lil,
I don't know. I am feeling a lot better since I stopped taking this
antidepressant, Celexa. (I started Zoloft this weekend.) Today I went to
church, you know, with the usual amount of getting up and down, and it was
nothing like about a week ago. I am feeling very happy and very relieved.
You know, this month, my 15-3 went down to to 75? This is the first time
I've hit only double figures there.
I do seem to have something about me, that makes people feel I'm not ready
to play football or anything. With my vocal chord surgery being as good as
it could be, I'm a wheezer. Also, I think, shortness of breath is a side
effect of the arimidex. That plus the scar I have now, on my face; (they
took off a growth by my eyebrow, maybe basal ca, but don't know), makes
people feel like they have to do things like ask me if I'm alright and open
the door for me, etc.
I suppose this has its positive side. But sometimes, when I don't feel that
energetic, it's really hard to know. Is it because I'm 43, have cancer and
mets, have to lose a few pounds, I don't know.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Your friend,
Martha
