Well tomorrow I meet with the Nurse Practicitioner, NUT, and shrink for my eval. It's a 4 hour appointment for them to decide if I'm a candidate.

I have always been the kind of person to prepare for the end of the world and hope for not all that bad but, I am sooooo scared of them telling me no tomorrow that I can't get anything done.

I don't own a scale but, know I have dropped weight since I made my appointment because my wedding ring fell off last night. 2 weeks...

This week I had another appointment with my foot doctor. I was concerned as to what he would say now. Considering this has been an issue for nearly a year now, I don’t know where else we can go.

I was so worried all day about my psych eval, which was at 3 this afternoon. I don't know what it was I was so worried about.

The psychiatrist and I chatted for a whole 10 minutes. Yes, 10 minutes from start to finish! Nothing major, either. He just asked me a few questions about the forms I filled out, and that was that.

Quick, simple, and MAJOR hurdle #1 cleared!!

In January of 2008, 18 months out of surgery, communication with John was really getting intense. I was growing and changing fast and John was an excellent teacher. He respected me, but was uncompromising about my need to be honest with myself. He was sympathetic at times, but not willing to listen to bull.
