I'm doing OK, a bit tired and overwhelmed. I did sleep 2 hours longer this morning because my husband decided I didn't need to get up as early as when he goes to work to make his lunch and such, so he changed the alarm time. It's not an easy feat on our alarm clock; he can't even turn it off when it goes off; he just unplugs it (should it finally manage to wake him up). He got out the manual and changed it without my knowing. I guess he felt I needed more sleep, and there really wasn't a cause for me to get up so early, and he was right about that.

I took a long walk this morning. Too long, but at least it was walking and not running, and I got back inside before it got too hot.

I picked up my medical records from my pdoc's (retiring and new pdoc). The retiring doc has miniscule hard to read handwriting, every now and then you can read a few words. I went over them a bit and found I am diagnosed with bipolar I. However, I went over the notes more thoroughly this afternoon, and it looks like she very soon changed my diagnosis from major depressive disorder to bipolar II after my initial intake. It looked like she was even wondering bipolar on the initial intake form. I guess I should have clued in when she put me on Abilify. Then, I had a huge manic episode, and she had copious notes about wanting me in the hospital, the hospital calling that I didn't show up, etc. After that, I got the Bipolar I diagnosis. She also had me diagnosed with anorexia except for around a 6 month period of time even though it wasn't typical anorexia in the sense that I never lost my menstrual cycle and I still ate normally (exercised more than usual, but my set weight after the the eating and birth/breastfeeding is just low, maybe 112-115 lb. with zero exercise and eating quite a bit of junk food). I guess she just wasn't happy with my weight (and the BMI was in that area) though she didn't make too big an issue of it during appointments except one time. If I ever drop below 100 lb., I look awful, and at that point I did, and I remember she sent me over to my PCP to get a ton of tests done and had notes on speaking with my PCP as well (I'd signed a release). Apparently, they even talked about hospitalization or not. I thought that diagnosis of anorexia had long been changed to ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). I forgot to look if the new pdoc feels it's anorexia or ED-NOS. I think he might feel it's ED-NOS especially after having ulcer surgery.

Now my neck is stiff after going through all those records. They are now put away. It is a bit overwhelming, reading all that stuff about yourself, and these records go back 10 years, so it's a lot.

My husband is fuming this afternoon over a notice we got from the homeowner's association over a tiny infraction, being able to see his garage window-unit AC from the street. Yes, that is against the rules, but the crazy thing is he's had it there for 10 years without a single complaint from the HOA! He's fired off an email to the HOA because it really is ridiculous since the other half of that rule states that HVAC units on the side of the house shouldn't be able to be seen from the street, and every single house in this subdivision has the large HVAC system on the side of the house, nearly all visible from the street, except for the people who put in wooden fencing instead of the original wired (not to mention, when you live in a hurricane-prone area and winds can get high, wooden fencing blows down first). Since the houses were built in the 1960s, I'm sure the HVAC units were added later, probably in the 1980s and all at once by the same contractor as they all look the same. Hopefully, now that he's emailed the HOA person, he will calm down. I hope the solution to this issue will be no big deal; otherwise, he will be fuming again and we'll (or at least he) will soon be attending the next HOA meeting.
