Battered Boat

/

After waiting five months for the appointment, my obviously overworked or under scheduled neurologist sits with me for a few minutes. I complain about annoying nerve sensations and light headedness, resulting from my stroke a few years ago. He prescribes Amitriptyline - an antidepressant that works for nerve pain. What a mistake. I say to myself - self - shut up and live with a little inconvenience. The silver lining is, I now have more appreciation for my natural good natured mood!

I discontinued the Amitriptyline after one night (this is the second try with medication. The last medication, Duloxetine, I used for a month - it did little, but make me more tired). The side affects of Amitriptyline, for me, are waking up mad and short tempered, with little or no reprieve from nerve annoyance. I did sleep all night, but frankly I like my three am meditation and/or masturbation.

Battered Boat.

I am a battered boat - all the worst for wear, but colorfully weather worn, with all the glory of age.
