Chapter 40: You Can’t Turn Off A Disability

March 16th, 2019

Hi Everyone,

I waited a little bit to update. In part, because I had a neurologist appointment and I wanted to see how that went. The appointment went swell. The docs were really excited about all of the progress I’ve made since my last visit. They were actually happy. I apologized to my main doc. I was in so much pain the last time I was there I showed my ass a bit more than I should. At one point, I was an absolute dick. The funny thing was I was trying to be nice at the time. I didn’t see until my mind cleared a week or so later how I had treated her. She was gracious about it.

They changed my med ratio which sent me to a small visit to la-la land. They decreased one med to help me start sweating and doubled another one to help me rest more. I haven’t started sweating yet, but I’m sleeping better. After I came back from la-la land that is. They also want me to start working with a speech therapist they had mentioned that before but I hadn’t followed up as 1. It doesn’t make sense to me. I know how to place my tongue and shape my lips. I can’t get my brain to send the damn signal. 2. I only have so much money to put toward co-pays and meds. 3. I only have one day a week to fit in my, my wifes and my kids, various appointments. I would like to enjoy some of my days off. I told her I’ll follow up this time and I will. She gave me my life back. I have no reason not to trust her.
