She doesn't think I "lost" a day or dissociated although she will call my therapist, she thinks I took my normal medications and it was too much for me-I could have stopped breathing. Thats where Sir comes in he was lying on top of me kind of bouncing on me. He knows better that to wake me up--but I went to bed on Thursday and he was bouncing on me on Sat(last week) Maybe he just wanted his food-maybe he was trying to keep me breathing-I'll never know!
She cut some of my meds back even though I'm still not getting any pain control until my body gets used to them again. I talked to my therapist about going to partial-hospital 5 days a week. I don't like the Idea of putting myself in their hands. They will be coming to pick me up, I'll be vulnerable to them for transport, wanting to change me and I'll be fighting constantly no medications, and no inpatient hospitalizations--but as soon as my car is fixed I'm driving. But I will get a social worker and resources, find help for when I have my surgery and help with what else is out there. My rent just went up another 45 dollars, at this rate I can't stay here.
All in all, I'm still feeling tired. Hoping to get all the emails finished and go back to bed. They are picking me up at the un#@*)($ hour of 715 am. I assume presentable means out of Pj's and in street clothes?

Oh sidestepper.....I don't even know where to begin with all this, except to say that I am so sorry about all you are having to deal with....I'd say it's unbelievable, but sadly I know better. (Hopefully that made sense to you.) Only wish I had a magic wand to wave. Sending many warm thoughts and hugs.....and a big "thank you" to Sir.
