Thanks for starting us out again, BeyondtheRainbow!

I had a video session with my psychiatrist this afternoon. The main thing we talked about is Wednesday, May 6 (next week). That's the day hubby and I will know if my husband has a job or not. Most everyone in his company will know about their jobs that day, too. I told my psychiatrist about our very initial steps in emergency planning. 1) Health insurance. Who will have what and how much will it cost. I told pdoc that I'm leaning towards my Medicare rather than Obamacare or any Cobra cr*p thing my husband could buy. I think the Medicare would be cheaper, even with a supplemental addition.

My psychiatrist really is concerned about me. He even gave me an extra appointment for next Wednesday. It'll either be after the news or right before. I kind of hope it's after.

Pdoc has known of my husband's and my possible move to Europe for a long while. We had all been thinking it would be two to three years from now. Now with the possibly lay offs, it could be much much sooner. Pdoc said that now that he's used to this whole "video session stuff" that we may be able to continue our appointments via video (even if he's since gone back to face-to-face) for a little while even after a potential move to Europe. He'd set me up with plenty of medication supplies for at least three months (thanks to 90-day supplies) along with PRN stuff. Then after three months of residency, we would qualify for the national insurance coverage (applies in both Czech Republic and France). I like the idea of staying with pdoc through a transition period. I may even ask my therapist if we could do similar. My pdoc is the most significant, though. That's why I was so relieved when even he brought it up. Honestly, the thought of having to leave my pdoc completely, in a very short time, would add to the extreme stress of such a major life change.
