Hello everyone. @Faith-and-Hope and @Shaz51, thanks for asking after me. I am around, but just not feeling very sociable. Been busy with hubby who has been having problems with his eye. Local specialist a couple of times a week and back to the Sydney specialist again last week. Finally starting to get on top of things, and looks like he now just needs to be patient. He is NOT patient! At least he is on the improve, but not meant to drive for another couple of months while things improve. The good thing though is that the result is expected to be good, it will just take another 6-9 months. As for me, well I'm feeling pretty snowed under with caring for hubby and taking lots of calls from my brother as well. Been back to my GP today to get approval for my additional 4 mental health plan psych visits. That all went pretty well actually. He was very patient with me, caring, and really listened to me! It was only a short appointment as I couldnt get a long one. But I was in there for 40 minutes in total. I felt very guilty when I walked out and saw all the people waiting. And I was very apologetic to my GP, but he assured me it was okay. Its been a very difficult 6 months or so, but I think things are finally starting to look up, and I feel as though a heavy weight is finally starting to lift off my shoulders. Oh, speaking of weight, my GP was worried that I had lost so much weight over the past few months. So he has ordered me to have a stack of blood tests, just to rule out a few things he said. I told him I thought it was likely just a reaction to all the additional stress I've had lately, especially the past few months. So I apologise for being such an infrequent visitor, but I do think of you guys often. And hope everyone is doing well. I will check back again in a few days.
