I had two doc appointments today…. The first appt was with my GI doc… where among other (boring) things…. I got a brand new tube… yet again… and he joked and told me I was “the tube terminator” which apparently… my loving wife thought was very funny…. but for some reason I have had to have it replaced quite frequently lately….
The second appt was with my p-doc… Last time I was there he talked about switching my meds…actually he has been talking about it since August…. but this morning he gave me my first dose of Invega which will hopefully work for me… The downside is however that I will have to swallow pills for the next 4 to 6 weeks as I’ve never taken those before… I must admit when I saw the pill he wanted me to swallow I didn’t think I could do it… as it was HUGE… but …with a ton of water…. I did it!
Now we just have to wait and see how it goes tomorrow… and the next day… and well… until we know how my body reacts…. and if all goes well I can have IM injections, like with the old one…
