lol. Thank you!

This has all been one HUGE exercise in patience.

I've decided to consider Wednesday as not so horrific and not a waste of time because 1) I had to make that visit at some point no matter how asinine the policy is and 2) I had to see my insurance agent to get the ball rolling ASAP.

I'm going to push the reset button again and try to regard this as just another step in the process and look ahead to getting my license back within the next 30 days. I've been waiting a long time. Waiting some more won't kill me no matter how disappointing it is.

There was another woman from my city at the DMV Wednesday who also got a DUI in NH and was having issues. She had visited the DMV the week prior, had her insurance, and actually had her clearance letter from NH, but was told that they needed 24 hours to process something in the system before she could get her license back. She had to wait a week to get a ride. I think she had the problem because of their stupid policy of notifying them as to why NH suspended her license, but I didn't get a chance to ask her if that's what the issue was.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get my MA license back when I get my clearance letter from NH and if I pay my $500 fine. By then I'll have proof of insurance coverage in NH and a promise of coverage in MA when my license privileges are restored. To be on the safe side, I'm going to request updated copies of the 30 day letter and my driving record because both are only good for 30 days.
But I still have some concerns because the the DMV is so sketchy I wonder if they're going to tell me I have to come back 24 hours later because they have to process something in the system… what assholes.


In other news, it's too early for the protonix to start working, and I'm really missing the prilosec right now. Clearly it was helping me some degree.

I had an appointment with my eye doctor yesterday. The last time I saw hime I was having double and blurry vision in my right eye for well over a year and was starting to have it in the left eye occasionally. Nobody could figure out why. It turned out that it was the lithium (no problems since I stopped it in June). When I told him he was shocked that that was the cause. He'll be on the look out for it now.

I have a cigarette burn on my ankle that's become visibly infected. It wasn't painful when I got it (I have little feeing in my legs), but it's even painful to walk on now a week an a half later. Fortunately I don't have a fever. I'm seeing my PCP today.
