I'm having a bit of a rough time. I'm on temporary insurance, and they want to me to jump through all sorts of hoops to fill my Adderall prescription, which will run out tomorrow. The pdoc, pdoc's staff, the pharmacy have all tried to help to no avail. Now it will be Tuesday before anything gets done since Monday is a holiday. I might have to try loaners from the pharmacy, though I am doubtful the pharmacist would give out Adderall loaners. They do know me there though and have my prescription history and so can see I will be out, maybe it will help and not make me look like a drug seeker. I know this is the first prescription I have the new insurance filling, and it is a controlled substance, but ARGH! that's the one I'm out of though I will soon run out of Lamictal, but I don't think I will have any issues filling that. I know there are drug seekers out there, but I just want my prescription so I can read, finish my book for the library book club meeting on the 28th. I can't even concentrate to watch shows on TV. It gets bad.

I'm exercising too much and not eating for it, but my weight is pretty stable, maybe it's the Seroquel, I don't know. I had part of a tooth break off at an old amalgam filling, but I won't have dental insurance until Feb. or March. I guess at least it doesn't hurt and is a back molar and not much broke off. I'm sure I'll have to get another crown. It's like repeating last year all over again. I got a crown in late Jan.; I remember the temporary crown was still in there when I had my ulcer surgery on Valentine's Day because the surgeon asked if I had anything in my body that could fall out or get misplaced during surgery, and I mentioned the temporary crown. I hate having bad teeth. Some of it is from the eating disorder, which caused me to start clenching tightly at night (half the time, I take out the nightguard in my sleep), the other just bad bacterial inheritance from my mom.

My birthday is tomorrow. I turn 41. I am getting so old. Today, we are having a surprise birthday party for my mom, who is turning 60 (birthday on Jan. 23). It's at my grandmother's house, about a 1.5 hr. drive. My daughter now gets super bored on this drive, which is not easy to deal with and tends to need the bathroom all the time when it is difficult to pull off the freeway. I am not looking forward to the trip though one of my sisters and my nieces will be there, and it will be good to see them. My other sister just had knee surgery, lives in the Dallas area, and just can't make that drive yet.

Sorry for the saga. Guess I had a lot to get out.
