Double Flowering Plum

 The Double Flowering Plum is in bloom, the blooms are sparse most likely from last years drought.


Perhaps this shrub needs a total cut back or rejuvenation. 


It rained on the blooms. 

I am spending most of my time on the couch; shivering, waves of nausea, headache, tremors, in pain and very dizzy, Far Guy keeps one eye on me.   Withdrawal from some medications (Cymbalta) is not easy. I did a six week taper...and still have horrid symptoms.  Poor Far Guy had to take over cooking   cook if he wanted to eat. 

One day on the new Blood Pressure medication was all I could take...I will wait a few more days to try that again.

  1. Sending you lots of sympathy from London where the sun is shining for a change. I have to unpack the new seat I bought for the Chef so he can shower sitting down. Hope it’s in good condition. The first one arrived broken. Gently does it xxx

  3. Oh, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I do hope the symptoms of withdrawal are soon over with. I'm sure it is worrisome for Far Guy keeping watch over you.

    Take care.

  4. Sure hope you improve daily, sometimes the meds are worse than the problem they are supposed to fix.
    Those plum blossoms are beautiful.

  5. I was just commenting on DJan's Sunday post about the woes of aging. You win the prize for awfulness with all of your pain and suffering. I am so sorry that you have to be going through this.

  6. It's just wrong that the symptoms from a drug that's supposed to help you makes you feel worse than before you took it. Hopefully this misery will end soon.

  12. I'm SO, SO, sorry Connie. That sounds terrible. I'm also on Cymbalta for my back spasms. The neurolgist in Spokane who originally prescribed it told me that going off of it will be terrible. He said it's one of the worst withdrawals he's seen. I had such bad spasms that I was in bed all day without it, but I hate the thought of ever going off of it. I'm praying for you my dear friend.
    Blessings,
    Betsy
