NoMo is Awake
NoMo is finally awake and ready for action. I haven't written anything in about a year now since NoMo got out of the hospital and started taking her medication. She had been at the depressive end of her bipolar disorder for the last year and hasn't done anything except watch TV. In fact she hasn't been out of her pajamas since last August 31. This week she admitted that she had not taken her medication for quite a while and has been making mothers life a living hell. She is back to the other end of her bipolar disorder ,which landed her in the booby hatch last year. She hasn't called the police yet to help her move furniture, or bought anything, but is slowly working her way up to it. She is calling mother on the phone several times a day and talking for over an hour each time, about her family that mother has heard a million times. Today she asked mother to go to Harps and pick up some chicken at the deli for her...it turned out it was not the right Harps that she sent mother to. She told her crossover but it was the garland store she made the order to. Since getting out of the funk, NoMo has been filling trash bags with all the stuff that she hasn't taken to the garbage all year long. There is a lot of stuff so its going to take a long time. The conditions for her going home from the insane asylum were that she would take her medication, see the counselor once a week, and take care of herself. She hasn't done any of these things, especially lately, and is in danger of being sent back if she does something crazier than usual...like calling the police to help her find the remote. My ears are still ringing with mothers rants from earlier and I forgot some of what she said, but now things will get more interesting from here...stay tuned, Dusty is yet to come.
