Friday Morning in New Diary

I had a good day yesterday. I was getting a little bit anxious about going out . I didn’t want to see my new doctor at Healthways. But I got that under control by reading. I really got involved in the new history book I have. I read for a couple of hours. By 11 am I was ready to go I got dressed and went outside. Saw Chocolatechip in the hallway. We went down to the new smoking area. We didn’t get a chance to talk my case manager pulled up.

I have some sad news. My current case manager will be leaving her job. She said she got a new position working for a nursing home. She said it was a good career move. She will miss her clients she said. I said I would miss you and that you have helped me out a lot. We went over the schedule. She said I see my family doctor on Tuesday. I think it was in the afternoon.

She dropped me off at Healthways. I met my new doctor. He looked to be an older man with white hair. He was very nice. he ushered me into his office. We had a nice talk. First I told him that I think I really need to be on something for anxiety, He wrote me out a prescription. I forget the name of it. He asked me some other questions. He asked me if I exercise. I said no I have bad arthritis. He asked me what I do all day. I said read most of the time and get on the computer. He asked a few other questions and wrote me out a script for the rest of my meds. ‘

I wasn’;t in there that long. On the way home I asked if we can stop at the pharmacy since I need to drop off my scripts. She said that was fine. I got to talking to my case manager and I as telling her I had a bad time at the 3rd. We were at Wal Mart and I had a very bad bout with anxiety. She asked if my aid was with me and I said yes. Then she talked to me what were my coping skills. I said at the time I didn’t know what to do. I went about my business and got the hell out of there as quickly as possible. I told her about the new anxiety med. She asked how often I take it. I said as needed. I said I was glad to be on something for that.

I did my business in Krogers and she dropped me off. I was glad to get home. I laid down for a little bit. I had a heartburn flair up and then sat up. I played some chess games on the computer for a while and started to read. I read for a couple of hours and turned on the tv I watched Dr Phil.. At four Chocolatechip rang my buzzer., She asked if it was all right if she came up to use the computer. I said sure.

We had a nice visit. She asked if Kelly came today. I said no she had a doctors appointment. I told her about my case manager leaving. I also said I am finally on something for anxiety. She asked what I was taking and I said I couldn’t remember. I gave the script to the pharmacy and they re supposed to deliver it Friday afternoon. She was talking about her ex husband. She said his roommate wrote a letter to his sister. She was claiming that he was physically abusive to him and had to call the police. He is moving to Freedom Place today and she said by law he has to pay rent until November. I said she was full of shit.

She was up here for about an hour. I was getting hungry. I asked if she would like a sandwich. I have chopped ham and Swiss cheese. She said that would be nice. I got the food out an d we had ham sandwiches for supper. After eating we got on the computer again to check her email.

I turned on the tv to watch Ellen. They had asshole Trump on the news. He was talking about North Korea. I swear he is going to get us in World War III I can’t stand him and but kept him on I was waiting on the news.

Well Chocolatechip finished her business on the computer. She said she was going to the Dollar General Store and had to go and get ready. We hugged each other and I said I will always love you and then she left.

I watched the news and Jeopardy. After Jeopardy I turned off the tv and read for a little bit. I took me seizure med and lied down on the couch Had a little trouble with heartburn but it went away. I slept good last night with no weird dreams to report.

Oh well life is good. I am blessed with another day.
