I made his appt. yesterday after discussing Husband's condition with a friend. She is studying psychology now (at the graduate level), and wondered if he is perhaps ADD (and depressed). She read a list of symptoms, and I must say he has a good number of them: fidget-y (he shakes his foot constantly), disorganized, drinks a lot of caffeine, can't finish a book, listens to a lot of music, watches a lot of TV, very intelligent, but lacking in self esteem, PILES OF STUFF EVERYWHERE, procrastinates, has trouble starting a project, but has lots of projects started but not finished...and so on.
Our son has ADD, and has been taking medication for it since the third grade (he's now in Junior High). Would make sense for dad to have it, no?
Anyhoo, I made an appt. for Hubby to go see gen. practitioner (they wouldn't do a referral over the phone, even though he's been "treating" husband for three years now for the same condition). Doh. He's going in on Friday, but it will probably be a month until he can get in to see a specialist.
On my front, I have found a piano teacher, and am going to start taking lessons again. More me time...
