synergy: Visit to the Doctor
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2006/09/visit-to-doctor.html
Visit to the Doctor. The fact that K is off is a subtle thing. It expresses itself in small irritations and exhaustion. Nothing serious, but also, they are warning indicators that shouldn't be ignored. By addressing it now, hopefully any further backslide can be forestalled. Posted by synergy @ 1:43 PM.

synergy: As the light fades . . .
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2006/09/as-light-fades.html
As the light fades . . . The lithium increase is not only linked to the shorter days. About six months ago, we began to go to a personal trainer and K upped her level of physical activity. The result is that her body seems to metabolize the lithium more quickly, so she needs a slightly higher dose. At least, we're hoping that some of the dips in her mood will be stabilized by the increase. Things are good, though I need to bring my stress under control. Posted by synergy @ 9:04 AM.

synergy: July 2004
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html
I knew there was something wrong when the alarm went off at 6 am (no, I didn't make it to the gym to lift weights this morning.) K didn't move when the alarm went off. Never a good sign. Morning isn't a great time, but on the good days, she usually pulls herself out of bed. I didn't say anything, just got up to take my shower. It's frustrating trying to reassure her. She immediately jumps to the conclusion that she's sick. Not that she may be having a bad hour, bad half-day, or bad day. No, s...I try to ...

synergy: March 2005
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
K is doing better than she has been over the past couple of days. She vascilated between rage and depression and is constantly worried that she is no longer in bipolar remission. Actually, I believe she still is in remission and these mood swings are within the tolerance for normal/remission. That said, it still doesn't make it any easier on me. Okay, turn down service is to arrive in 30 minutes. I need to head out and find myself some dinner. Posted by synergy @ 9:15 PM. The job situation is starting to...

synergy: October 2004
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
As the end of October creeps closer, my mind keeps returning the events of last fall. Another big reminder showed up in the. Detailing a psychiatrist's pain over having a patient commit suicide. I was able to keep emotional distance from the article's content until the last bit, where the doctor speaks to the patient's mother. After she left my office, I recalled a conversation I'd had with Carlos some time back. It was just after his first suicide attempt, on his initial appointment with me. Her distort...

synergy: New Year
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-year.html
Tonight we are off to celebrate the incoming New Year. We're heading to a friend's party and then moving on to a Chuck Brown show. We're the guests of our councilman. It should be an experience. I haven't decided what one wears to a go go show. I guess I'll be plundering the closet for the right outfit in a couple of hours. Happy New Year to everyone, if everyone hasn't given up on me. Here's to a wonderful 2008! Posted by synergy @ 5:43 PM. View my complete profile. As the light fades . . .

synergy: Tired
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2006/07/tired.html
But K's doing great. She constantly says that she won't be able to continue to take the bus when the heat gets bad or in the winter, if it gets too cold, etc. But she manages to keep doing it. At times, I think she ought to take a taxi, but she is stubborn about taking the bus, now that she is able to do so. Need to stop blogging. K just suggested that we head off to the Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. Suddenly, I'm feeling less tired, though not by much. Posted by synergy @ 6:44 PM. Exhausting, Crazy Week.

synergy: Uncertainty
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2007/01/uncertainty.html
I haven't been posting much over the past few months. Much of that has to do that K is much better and there remains little to write about on that front. The question then becomes, what do I do with this space? It appears that its original purpose as an outlet for me to deal with caretaking duties has been fulfilled. However, I find myself still clinging to the idea of the blog, despite my apparent disinterest in actually writing anything. Posted by synergy @ 10:11 AM. Anyway, just wishing the two of you...

synergy: Friday the 13th
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2006/10/friday-13th.html
No, nothing bad has happened. Actually, it's been a good day. It's just that I'm tired. K and I are away on a long weekend in Chicago. She's visiting family and we're staying with some close friends. They are busy putting the kids to bed. Yesterday was bad, but K handled it better than I did. That's the quick update. Things are good. K is with her family right now bonding with the niece. That's also good. Posted by synergy @ 8:28 PM. How is the job situation? View my complete profile. Visit to the Doctor.

synergy: April 2005
http://synergylk.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
I completed the paperwork for my promotion this evening, two days before it has to be finished. Now, I'll have to wait to see if I am actually selected for the position. I'm hoping that they'll let me know sometime next week. K's doing well. The basement contractors appear to be doing the right things, for once. Nothing else to report. Posted by synergy @ 7:33 PM. The sessions were helpful. It took some time before I was willing to trust the psychiatrist or talk openly about the situation with K....As lo...
