Sorry about your garage sale @Bow but no point if it's wet, people won't come.
Hopefully the weather is better for you for both Sat and Sun. I'm sure with mothers day coming up people will want gifts/art work.
Trying hard not to let the floodgates open.
How are you going? I remember you having the gp yesterday. Did that go ok?

Yeah I seen my gp yesterday @Snowie thankfully it was rather brief and she did not bombard me with a million questions. My MRI was fine and she said to talk to my pdoc about the dissociation and let him decide what to do next. Still need to cut back on my fluids too.
I seen my pdoc this morning. I sent my SW a text prior saying that I was struggling with words today, struggling with all the questions, decision fatigue and that I was anxious about my pending appointment due to all the questions and talking.
She met me there and sat down in the waiting room and immediately started talking about this being my appointment, I’m the boss, I tell him what I need and what to do etc. and that made me feel even worse!!
My pdoc appointment went ok. I didn’t have to answer too many questions, I told him what I am struggling with. I told him about my gp appointment and asked what he thought. He thought the mri was over the top and that there isn’t too much to worry about. This happens. Therapy will help. So I am fine to drive. But my SW spoke up and kept going over it and over it. Saying how concerned my gp was about it. That my psychologist didn’t seem to get how scary all this has been for me and that if therapy is to help then my psychologist needs to be addressing it, which she isn’t. I was getting a bit annoyed with my SW cause she kept going on and on about it. I wanted to leave.
but he is going to start me on a med during the day for my flashbacks which I have been in before and it helped.
@Jynx He did lecture me a bit though that this med does effect your blood pressure.

The pdoc appt. sounds like a bit of a mixture @Bow
I'm glad a few things were worked out though.
Hopefully the new med helps with the flashbacks. Might help with the dissociation too.
