Found the current guidelines (note: this would just be for Licensed Psychologists).
Includes the following (last update was March 11): "As more individuals receive the COVID-19 vaccine, some private practitioners may wonder if it’s OK to stop practicing telehealth and provide more in-person services. If feasible, APA recommends that psychologists providing routine outpatient care continue using telehealth to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission, and new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports this practice. While the CDC’s new guidance states that small groups of fully vaccinated family members and friends can gather indoors in a casual setting with or without masks, psychologists must follow the guidelines for health care personnel. Health care providers should continue to use telehealth; wear personal protective equipment and practice physical distancing when interacting with patients; and implement COVID-19 screening protocols." |

Got my second Covid shot yesterday. I feel achy today and I feel really tired and my arm is sore but that's it. I'm relieved to have gotten the second shot. Now I need to wait the two weeks for the immunity to kick in.

Been having a few hallucinations (audio) and one visual. I think that means the psychosis is breaking through the medication. I see Dr. K on the 11th, he didn't have an earlier appointment but I think his stance is going to be talk to Pdoc. Just a feeling I got.

Hugs, Kit. I imagine he'll want you to contact pdoc as well. Could you reach out to pdoc now to set up an appointment? And glad you got your second shot! |

I'm debating. The voices are manageable, at least right now. Like I can ignore them. They freak me out at first but then like I just sort of realize it's a voice and then I settle down. I'm not scheduled to see Pdoc until July, so I might need to make an appointment before then. I'm prevaricating. I'm achy from the shot so I am running my space heater which is making me hot but it is helping the aching in my muscles. When I go home I'll take some Ibuprofen and maybe a hot bath with Epsom salt. __________________ Dum Spiro Spero IC XC NIKA |

I'm mostly debating because of the cost. The cost to see Pdoc is $200. But then if I let it go untreated and I get worse and end up in the hospital, my out of pocket maximum is $2750, which I have met some of. I'm supposed to get that case manager soon so I was hoping they would tell me what to do.

Got my last restitution check from the ex (via the state) today. I'm feeling very angry at the moment. I guess he's working now when he couldn't be bothered when he was with me.

H is cooking dinner - hamburgers yum! He makes the best hamburgers. Yes I have given up on the vegetarian thing for now. I might try again in the future...

Working on part of my therapy homework, looking for a place to swim (since they closed our pool here and I won't have one at the new house, unless I put an above-ground one in my backyard to swim circular laps in haha). Looking at a fitness club that has an indoor pool that's affordable enough if I skip one therapy session a month, that has an aqua-fit class twice a week plus lap swimming times, and a nicer resort kinda place but that one is probably out of my price range unless I go to every other week therapy sessions. Gotta contact them for rates as it's not clearly posted on the website, that I can find anyway. I will have to go check them out now after work one day.

I have meat as a standalone meal once in a while (once a week or so?), when nothing else seems to suit. We are called flexatarians - let the cheap shots begin!

Weirdly, I was just looking up local options with indoor pools... We had belonged to this community organization that involved fitness centers with pools where he had a discount because H worked in the community. But now they're moving his office (he'll still be working from hoe for months), so we'll no longer have the discount. Our account had been on freeze for a year due to COVID (we had to pay $10/month to freeze it...). Just found some local options that are much cheaper, so we'll cancel that.
Artie, I say go with the place where you can still do 3 therapy sessions a month. |

I'm feeling extra sad today. I feel like precious time is slipping away. I'm scared that L is going to move and we will use telehealth indefinitely.
Also, a fb page I follow, Sheltie Planet, said:

Hugs, Scarlet. Has she said anything about moving lately? I'd talk to her about it.
It's hard reading on FB about pets dying. I have two guinea pigs and am in a couple guinea pig groups, and people frequently post about theirs dying or being sick/hurt. And it makes me worry about mine. But then people will post guinea pig babies, which are adorable (they come out covered in fur, eyes open, and ready to go, unlike, say, baby mice), so it balances out. |

I have been laboring under a bad sinus infection. It was so bad that at one point, I thought about asking exhankster to send some leeches or moonshine or whatever the big valley and bonanza people used.

never heard of it. I rinsed out the nasal passages, drank gallons of tea with honey, lemon, and cayenne pepper, and slept on a wedge so as not to choke. A good cupping might have helped

Under normal circumstances, high standards come as naturally to me as breathing.
With everything that's happening currently, the idea of 'delivering to a high standard' frightens me. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |
