Experiences and thoughts based on my everyday life |
| This book will contain my daily thoughts. |
| Rick will be home late this evening. I cannot wait to be able to sleep next to him again. While he was gone, we only texted, so I haven't heard his voice since last week. I am going to tidy the apartment and get the sofa bed ready for his mom. We have to get up early to be at an appointment for a psych evaluation for my social security determination. We have to stop by my friend, Kirk's to pick up my mail that had not been forwarded here to the apartment. Rick's mom will be dropped off at the airport, to return to her home in Sacramento, tomorrow at 2. It'll be good to be able to settle back in at home with my love. I just want to snuggle on the couch, watch tv, have a nice meal. I feel like I cannot move forward in my mind until the psych evaluation is completed. It is a daunting thing to experience. When they go through my medical records and note that I experienced a sexual assault in November of 2023, they dig in. They drag the trauma out of you, and if they do this like the psych did in a previous exam, they just cut you off from expressing how it affected you, and then just dismiss you. The last time, I kept my composure until I reached the car, then I was able to let go. I was highly emotional, shaking, and felt faint. If only the doctor could've seen THAT, they wouldn't have denied my claim. I am not sure what to expect tomorrow, as my lawyers have added diagnoses and I am sure the testing will be more extensive than it was two years ago. I am a bit more calm and less anxious about this evaluation. Since the last evaluation, I feel like I have found my voice. I have learned HOW to speak to people in a way that effectively gets my point across, while being VERY polite. People want to help if you make yourself HUMAN to them. Anyway, I am going to start tidying up, and maybe bake something for Rick and mom to munch on when they get home around 10:30 tonight. Banana bread sounds really good right now. |
