I was supposed to work tonight waiting tables and could find no one to work for me but there was no way I can work right now. My sister in law works there and at first said no so I begged. I don't want her to know what is going on so I was vague- she just knows it's some kind of emergency.
Glad you saw your pdoc today.

Also happy that it sounds as if you've got a pdoc who is willing to listen to your concerns and suggestions.

Just get your blood works for lithium levels and thyroid functioning every so often, which I have no doubt your pdoc will do.
