Heather and I got a night off!
Someone was nice enough to watch McKenna and Owen, and so we went and saw "Return of the King" (which rocked) and had dinner.
It was really nice to get to spend some time with just Heather, and do some other things than watch the kids. I'm still adjusting to not having the Topamax in my system, and so I feel a little off-balance at times, but I'm willing to let it slide.
Heather keeps talking about a lawsuit, saying that the company has released a drug that's obviously messed up a lot of people and caused problems, but as always, I sit on the fence. I mean, yeah, I'd like to go to Ortho-McNeill and have a chat with the developers of the drug and ask them if they really thought through all of the potential side effects, but when you look at the number of people that Topamax has helped, how do you balance that out?
I just know that I lost a month of my life, lost to spacing out, not being able to remember things, spontaneously crying, unable to think clearly, wondering why my hands and feet wouldn't stop tingling, wondering why my face would go numb, lost to worse panic attacks and seizures at night. It makes Heather mad. But really, it just makes me sad.
