Oh, I realized I hadn't given a full update:

I had trouble sleeping last night, not sure if it was because I was out, or because that is what I am used to doing at home. The only concern I had about getting out was they didn't provide me with any of the new meds for the weekend, just an rx...which I can't get filled until Monday =O Oh and they didn't tell me the side effects of them taking me off paxil 40s cold turkey...but I found a handbook and noticed some of what I was feeling was caused by it. (Dizziness, nausea, feeling of electric shocks occasionally). They have an Intensive Outpatient Treatment program, that takes around a year to go through...but the center is a little over an hour away, so no option for me to attend it.

I do have an appointment with a tribal health mhworker...possibly my case will be transferred to a closer facility. Tribal MH is almost 1/2 hour away...if it does get transferred my appointments will only be 5 mins away. Much easier as I have to find people to bring me, as I can't drive (RA related).

Speaking of RA related, I was shooting hoops with a great girl that I plan to stay in touch with and I couldn't make a 3 point shot =( That has always been my best range to make shots from...it made the way RA has affected my life really hit me. During wrap up that evening I kind of broke down, even though I thought I had already 'made peace' with my life as influenced by RA. I guess I haven't =P
