Well I made it back from my weekend in Harrisburg at the PA Farm Show.
Had a great time and wish it didn't have to end.

But now back to reality. This week is going to be a trying one.

Tomorrow morning I have to go to the State Police Station and be fingerprinted.

Shortly after that, I have to go for a full Drug and Alcohol Assessment through the county. This will help the magistrate and county probation officers determine the severity of my issues with alcohol so they can choose a proper course of action to take for sentencing if and when I am convicted of the DUI charges I am facing.

Wednesday I go back to the doctors for the results of the bloodwork I had taken. They were to run tests for liver enzyme function and several STDs.

Thursday I go to the dentist for a root canal of my two front teeth which x-rays determined are essentially dead. Never had one before...

Feeling a bit uneasy about the events this week to say the least...

Ay-yi-yi.......what a week you've got ahead. When (rhymes with "wit") starts rolling downhill, it really picks up speed, doesn't it?

That's a lot to handle in a short time for even a non-bipolar person; hope this doesn't destabilize you and make things worse. Wishing you the best of luck, mm.

You are in my thoughts and prayers,

That most certainly is a lot to deal with. Please, stay strong. I hope for the best possible outcome on everything.

I can see why you'd be feeling uneasy about the week's events. I will surely keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm new, but I'm trying to acquaint myself with everyone. All the best to you this week. You make me feel like my problems are nothing. Really. Good luck to you friend.

Sorry to hear you're still having to deal with DUI issues. But concerning your root canals, if those teeth are basically dead then there shouldn't be much discomfort. I don't know if you can take pain meds or not but know that ibuprofen and ice work well for swelling.

All the best this week for you, my friend.
Thanks for this!

Also regarding the root canals my dad has had many of them and said they not comfortable but not bad either so don't worry to much about those.

Well two days down of the hellacious week. Here are the results so far.

The fingerprinting went well. Very interesting technology they have now. All digital, no ink involved.

The Drug and Alcohol Assessment also went well. I was fairly honest and had to rehash a lot of bad memories, but it was worth it. I got assigned to 1:1 counseling rather than the group classes they normally require. I had plans to do something like this on my own anyway (what I was really looking for when I went to see the p-doc) so it was a welcome surprise. Now it won't really feel like something I "have" to do.

Today at the doctors was also a good experience. Got the results of my bloodwork.
All the STD tests came back negative and my liver it still running strong. Tough little bugger he is.

Yesterday I also picked up some supplies to further organize my room and implemented them and the briefcase I ordered arrived, so I didnt have to tote all my important documents around in a backpack.

I also stopped by the Yamaha dealer to see if they were having any deals and if they would take my current dual sport motorcycle in on trade. Long story short, today I went back, traded in the old bike and signed off on a NEW 2012 Yamaha Stryker; black and chrome in color with a 1300cc engine.

Still not looking forward to the root canal tomorrow, but I hear the procedure has come a long way in recent years.

Not sure if I posted, but my hearing has now been pushed back to February 25...
