Prompted by Harpo’s note

Harpo (and any other interested parties), I just wanted to tell you, while I have a brief moment of clarity, that things are not going so well with me right now.  I have been without several of my medications for almost a week, and it is taking a pretty severe toll on me.  I cannot stop shaking, for one thing.  I cannot seem to grab hold of one train of thought for very long at a time, my thoughts are racing like hell, and Louis keeps staying out because we’re all so goddamned confused.

As a psychological trick to bring me out and focus me a bit, he went and put on my favorite skirt and the shirt I have been wearing with it of late.

I don’t feel good at all, Harpo.  I have been without Depakote and my blood pressure pills for about a week, if not more.

Please pray that my mind holds to at least a minimum of clarity for a while.  I keep making typos while I’m typing this, but I’m OCD, so I keep correcting what my freakin’ shaky fingers mess up.

Love to one and all.

Hank, we’ll pull through this in the long run.  God, I hope the damage total isn’t very high.  I love you with all my heart.

Yours,

Betty Louise
