Someone asked me to be their AA sponsor ... I'm just thinking on it ...
I'll post more on my thoughts tonight if mom lets me have some alone time and I'm not to upset from therapy.
I leave for Lawrence in a coupe of hours and I'm not yet dressed or packed! My therapist is meetng me at mom's house and we meet for 90 minutes on all this stuff he has had me write out (2 poems and a free writing each day plus a dream book for when I wake up from dreams in the night). I think it will be ok, but it is weird that we will be doing the session at the sight of where all the stuff occurred.
Anyhow .. I really will try to read, respond and post tonight at some point ... if not perhaps early am tomarrow....
love you all and all of you please post all your good and bad ... guts and glory!
And have a great Friday...or whatever day it is where you live

Hi Pheonix!
Thanks ... yeah this is the simple one ... not very good for real evaluation and stuff.
I was suppose to go to have a neuropsychiatrist do the in depth test you are talking about, but I can't afford it. She also needs a test for the neuropathy which I can't afford. I have insurance, but the deductible is high...I've met it now, but my share on those tests is too much for me as I'm still paying off the deductible charges over the next year.
They will probably be putting me in the hospital for a while in the next year ... if they do, I think I would hit the 1 year maximum that you have to pay and then everything is free ... I hope to get the tests then.
I'm more better about my relationship with uncertainty today than I have been earlier in the week. I'm a work in progress
Thanks

I was way too zonked and these tests were carried out- despite me not having any insurance- or clothes for that matter. Food for thought. BUT the results terrified me- once I was cognitive enough to understand them- and made brain stuff a priority. At first I got all the staff to write their names on a w-board in my room, with something to help me remember them by.

That sounds like where I was at when I came to in the hospital a year ago may... and it is possible they gave tests I don't remember...but I think they were probably too concerned with my breathing and stuff to do much. I know they asked me the date, where I was and stuff for almost a week before the time I actually "came to" and started to remember stuff.
I don't remember much about the first 4 months out of the hospital ... well relatively a lot ... but I do remember I couldn't figure out how to get anywhere, or what I was doing in the middle of a task or phone calls I'd made for finance stuff ... My son sorta had to take over for a while and guide me.
I would have gotten a 0 on the test they gave me Thursday when I first got out of the hospital .... so I know I'm better ... just awfully aware of what I can't do correctly and stress makes it almost as bad as it was at first ..... I'm terrified they will make me go back to work, but I'll not think about that yet....
Sorry ... Ranted ... I gotta finish packing.
Pheonix - thanks for jumping in!
