I completely understand taking a break from doctors. After my cancer and all the treatments that followed, I disappeared from my medical team for almost a year even though I should've been having more tests done. In truth, after being in a hospital or medical environment so much for so long, it can drive a person mad just by itself. I still avoid as many doctor's appointments as I can, so I'm not much looking forward to this upcoming Wednesday when I get a bunch of scans and tests done for the year. Not to be morbid, but I kinda want a buckshot breakfast just thinking about it.
Sorry, bad joke.
I'm glad you've gotten to a place of security with your payments and shelter. In truth, I was worried about you through all of it. I still worry but anxiety is a pain that way. I'm proud of you for accomplishing everything you have. Hell, it stressed me out just thinking about it haha.
