| Pills, bah, who needs them. |
Gary is still insecure about his place in my life. I once again took my shower without his help and his response was, "See, I told you that you were going to get to where you don't need me. I told you so." I can't just let him continue to do things for me if I am able to do them. I want to do the things that I am able to do. It makes me feel so much better. Being dependent on others is something that really goes against my grain. I was always such an independent person. I did what I wanted, when I wanted. So today when I got up Gary was gone and I made use of the opportunity. I am having more problems walking. It is difficult getting to the bathroom or bedroom now. My wheelchair does not work in here. The apartment is not handicap friendly. Don't know what the answer is there. I need prayers from all who pray.
Well, they only did blood work on Max and some X-rays today, they are doing the biopsy tomorrow. I don't know if they have to cut him open for the biopsy or not. I didn't think to ask. So far they are pleased with the doctors and nurses at this VA hospital. The one in Poplar Bluff where he was going is known for being a lousy place to go to. Even though they sent him to St.Louis for the cancer treatment, all other tests was done in Poplar Bluff. The VA in Poplar Bluff was on that 20/20 segment that exposed certain VA hospitals for mistreating and bad medical practices to and on the patients. After the 20/20 episode the hospital lost its operating priviledges. That is why everyone has to be sent elsewhere for treatment like Max's.
Tomorrow Donna comes. She is suppose to come on Tuesdays but she had a parent/teacher conference with her son's teachers. It worked out good for me. I had to go grocery shopping after putting it off since last Thursday. I am glad it is finally done with. I am thinking of going off of my psych meds. I think that I should be able to control my mind on my own with God's help. I am going to be praying on it. I have an appointment with the psychiatrist on Thursday but I am going to go ahead and get full scripts from her for the month of May. By the time for my next refills I will have come to a conclusion on what I will do. I have to come off the medicines slowly so I have to tell her that I am doing it and I know that there will be opposition. I have to prepare myself for it. I have to put my faith in God.
Later. God bless. Teressa. |

With things being so bad with Max right now, is it really a good time to go off your meds? Just one bipolar to another...
