I’m so sorry you’re going through so much right now. For what it’s worth, I always enjoy your posts and find it inspirational you find little things to enjoy even among the chaos of handling all the hardships you are right now. Floating by the pool the other, however brief that may have been, seemed very relaxing! When it rains, it pours right? I hope things even out and get easier. You’re doing so much to help and going through a lot. I wish I had half your strength.

I feel ya. I have very strong opinions about healthcare and education – neither should cost an arm and a leg. I find it paradoxical about how these systems work. I won’t get on my soap box, I know better lol. I’m sorry about your issues though. I would look into what Daonnachd was saying, hopefully that helps!


I’m doing ok today, I think. I started my new med yesterday. It’s strange being on a meds again, but the majority of what I’m experiencing is beneficial and good. I won’t blame the issues yet on the med. I did feel rather restless but I did drink a lot of soda that day, even more so than I usually do, and had some anxiety about taking the meds because of reading the side effects. The one thing I can say I really quite enjoyed about the medicine is that while it didn’t seem to slow down my mind, it did make me feel like I was wearing a nice warm blanket around me wherever I went. A calming sensation. That may diminish over time, obviously, but it was welcomed yesterday. It didn’t make me overly tired, so that’s still a plus in that category too. I just hope it doesn’t cause a lot of weight gain on my end. So far, so good.

That’s all I wanted to contribute to that.
