The ketamine treatment went much different than expected. I was wondering how I was going to pass the time. I thought I would listen to music. However I ended up talking to the nurse the whole time. It made the time to go by faster. I didn't feel as much as I thought I would. I may feel more next time cuz they're going to do it a little faster. It took an hour and a half because I have chronic nausea and vomiting. Most people take 40 to 50 minutes. So they're trying to cut my time down before increasing my dose. This upsets me. I wish they'd just increase the dose first. I'm supposed to be at 50 but they only have me at 40. Makes me think I could be getting more out of it than I am.
Today was the first good day I've had in quite some time apart from being on vacation. I woke up like 3:00/3:30 but it wasn't bad cuz I had fallen asleep about 9:30. So I didn't get 8 hours sleep but I got a decent amount. In the past I felt best when I sleep about 6 maybe 7 hours. After waking up I stayed in bed until about 5:30 and then got up. After getting up I was on my phone and just hanging out for a little bit. Then instead of just laying around or sitting on the couch I decided to clean while my son was doing school. I cleaned the bathrooms. I can't even remember the last time I did that. We can actually see clearly in the mirrors now, it's amazing. I was more productive today than I have been in months. I decided to go for a walk around the park while my son was at OT instead of just sitting in the car or staying home and laying down while my husband took him. I'm hoping it was because of the ketamine and it just continues to get better.
