lacysky23I'm really kinda proud of myself a little this morning. I called and got an appt scheduled with a new RA doctor and I also called to get an appointment set up with a mental health provider to discuss medications for anxiety and depression (more so with the anxiety). She is one that I have worked with before with my mom and she was really awesome with her. I also have my annual physical scheduled for the 29th of this month. Going to specifically ask them to check my heart while I am there since she is new to me as well. I miss my old dr. But unfortunately,he is in Raleigh now. Will see how new one works out, but if I don't like her, I will definitely be going to Raleigh to see my old dr, he is definitely worth the drive to Raleigh (you know how much I hate to drive in Raleigh)!
Work is going well,I am staying extremely busy and I am starting to feel the wear and tear without my RA being manage with RX meds. It's still manageable, but my fatigue is catching up to me more and more. I continue to feel comfortable with my supervisor and speak candidly about issues I Amy be struggling with and feel acceptance and understanding vs demeaned and belittled for feeling overwhelmed at times when I have gotten a little behind on some of the paperwork (CCAs because I am getting slammed back to back each week with 4-5). My six month review is coming up in less than 2 months and I will finally be able to apply for my LCSW license!!!
Other updated news, I got a new car this past weekend for me to drive while Skyler will take over driving my current car. He is getting his license finally on August 2nd and will start driving himself to school and won't have to rely on me or grandparents to pick him up from school. It also affords him the opportunity to seek employment and be able to get himself there without needing to schedule around my work schedule. It's giving him independence in some small way and I am really proud of the fact that I am able to do that without any support from anyone else. Skyler will be a graduating senior this year and I am so excited for him to be in final year of school. He did really well this past year with taking on more responsibility for his learning without me having to intervene because he was getting behind or not turning in work. I was super proud of him!
Things feel like they are in an upward swing and I am gradually digging out of what feels like the darkest hole I have been in for the past several years. Today is the 5 year anniversary of Chris's passing and I feel a little emotional because I wish he were here to see where I am now because he always believed in me getting here one day. I miss him a lot but feel so much more when I think about him tha I do the bad memories.
