Clouds hang on these curves like me, and I kneel to the wheel of the fox confessor...
So I went to the doctor's office on Monday, partly just to get settled in as a new patient now that I have insurance, and partly to get a refill on my prescriptions. I spoke to the RN there rather than the doctor, but that's fine with me, because she was amazing. Or maybe I just have low expectations given my experiences with medical professionals over the past... several years, but either way, it was good.
She gave me a new antidepressant (SNRI instead of just SSRI), and when I go back in a month to talk to her about if it's working, I'm getting bloodtests and an EKG and who knows what else to see if they can figure out what's up with my heart issues. Yay for people actually taking me seriously when I tell them something's wrong with my brain/body!
In other news,
thatrainbow is heading to Florida for a few days and wants me to drive him to the airport so we can save the cab fare... which means I have to practice driving. We went out last night when there were no cars on the road. I drove around the block once to warm up, and then to the airport and back. Nothing horrible happened and I did not have a panic attack even though it was drizzling, so I am considering it a success. I want to do it a couple more times between now and Monday morning just to reassure myself I remember how, but I think I may survive the experience.
