Arranging my new medication

I began my Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. by filling my empty pill containers. I had called yesterday late afternoon to cancel my day at WestSide today. The new seizure medication that I am now taking has been making feel sick since I have been on it. It is the generic form of Depakote and I just could not take any more. I have been told by past neurologist that I should not be on generic forms of medication do to the reactions of my body. My neurologist finally got my insurance to approve me to be on the Depakote.. The Generic name is divalproex sodium. I will begin to take the Depakote tomorrow. At 7:30 I then went back to bed and slept until 11:30. The medication has made me so sick, I guess my body needed to catch up on a lot of rest. I then went into the kitchen so as to drink my hot cocoa while eating some fruit. At 11:46 I then made myself some hot cereal with a toasted english muffin. At 12:00 I then returned to my bedroom so as to brush my teeth and shave I then took the first puff of my inhaler. AT 12:22 I then began to do my stretches that have helped me during my latest stroke recovery. At 12:30 my mother had arrived home from work and with some groceries. Once I had finished helping her take them in, I then took them out of the bags. At 11:40 I then retuned to my bedroom to continued to stretch. At 12:30 I then changed the medication that my mother had picked up for me at the pharmacy from the divalproex sodium to the Depakote. Once the containers had the Depakote in them, I then did my back stretches. At 1:30 I had put some clean laundry away before laying down to rest. I had slept from 2:00-4:47 before waking. Once I had taken a shower, I then went into the kitchen so as to eat dinner. At 5:40 I then returned to my bedroom so as to pull up my blog an type of my day.
