General Update
Mar. 12th, 2020 11:12 amI've been pretty crazy lately. As a mentally ill person, that's the best shorthand for me to explain the complicated issues that I'm dealing with that make it hard for me to function well.
And I haven't been functioning very well. Even aside from the mobility issues. Job and money stuff, plus my expectations on myself to contribute financially to the household has been rough on me. Danae's condo is under contract to sell, and that's a big help. I'm using the time I'm stuck at home to do some important things I haven't been doing.
I followed up with my therapist in the US to ask for records to be forwarded to my huisart (GP) here. I'm following up with the mental health services here that said they were going to call me for an intake but haven't yet. Those are the big ones for today.
Now I'm going to make a grocery list for two weeks' worth of food that will stay good to eat that we can stock up on. This is going to be rather different from the states. Most stuff here is sold fresh, and our freezer is small.
I did walk the short distance to the doctor's office today for a quick follow up appointment I made about the injuries. I had enough minor pain to suggest to me that I don't want to do any longer-distance walking, but that I'm definitely improving. The doctor said that with soft issue injury, we just have to wait and see what happens and if it's still a problem in six weeks we do more. Danae, who has a lot of experience on the receiving end of sports medicine, was not impressed by this pronouncement.
