It's been quite awhile since I've been on here for any real amount of time for the last week or so. I just haven't had anything to say. I've been sick the whole time and am on my way to getting better.
This week has been very busy for me ~ 1 visit with my therapist, 1 visit with a lawyer, and tomorrow a visit with my psychiatrist. The therapy appointment went fairly well, the lawyer didn't go well at all, and I'm nervous about my psychiatric appointment.
The appointment with the lawyer was to see if he'd take me on for SSD while I go through the appeal process and such. He wouldn't take me because I'm 32, have the wrong healthcare provider, and haven't been out of work for very long. I also found out by accident from him that my last psychologist died 6 months ago from cancer. I started to cry in the meeting because I had been looking for him to get records from him to back up my claim, and couldn't figure out what happened to him. He was nowhere to be found. He couldn't have been more than mid-fifties. I was genuinely upset because I had really liked him and he helped me get better after my son's birth. The lawyer was so cold about it that it made me mad.
Today I mostly slept ~ inertia and this bug I've got left me with no motivation at all. I can't seem to stop coughing.
My husband and I are having a problem. Since I gained the weight from the Abilify I now snore loudly, and he can't sleep through it. It's wreaking havoc on our sleep. One of us ends up leaving to sleep somewhere else. I've offered to be the one to go sleep on the couch because I sleep well there, so at some point every night I end up on the couch. It hasn't been fun. My husband has come home with every kind of remedy you can think of to stop my snoring, and nothing helps. I wonder if this bug is causing this too with all the cogestion in my head and chest?
Tomorrow is our 11 year wedding anniversary and Aaron booked us a 2 day stay at a resort and spa, just us. 🙂 His Mom is going to take care of Zachary for the weekend while we go and get to play fora couple of days. I'm excited about it.
I hope everyone is well and doing okay. I have a lot of catching up to do with friends and I hope that I'm rid of this cold very shortly. Thank you all for listening. ~ Keya
