Sandy - I'm so sorry to hear that. Bureaucracy sucks! Pick a time next week when you're at your best and give them a call. Wish I could help you through this. I know how you feel, not having energy to deal with putting a meal together or getting the kids in the tub and in bed, let alone bigger things!!
When you get sick, it's like a house of cards or dominoes. Everything is affected by it and it can seem like it's all crashing in on you, one thing after another, but it's really all the same thing (if that makes sense).
What can I do to help? I wish I could make a phone call for you and get it straightened out. Dare I mention asking your sister to help you? I know you'll say no, but I bet she'd help :-)!
Simus was talking about weight gain as we get older and how humbling it is. The whole mental illness thing is pretty humbling, isn't it?!?!
Someone really wants to test you. I can't pretend to know why. Hang in there Sandy, I'll be thinking good thoughts about you over the weekend!!!
