Well, it has been quite a while since I have made any postings on NT. I just wanted to give an update to let everybody know that I am doing OK.

Things were not working out all that well at my sister's house after my niece moved back in for her summer break from college. There was just too much chaos going on in too small of a space for my mom to feel comfortable staying there. I am almost always up at my parents house now, only coming down to Metro Detroit for my doctor appointments. With so much moving around, trying to get settled in to one place, I just seem to have a difficult time finding the time to post anything on NT.

I have had a lot of stress lifted off of me in the past couple of months. I was finally approved for SSDI, I officially changed my address to my parents, I have changed my health insurance over from my husbands name into my own and upgraded it from an HMO to a PPO, and I am scheduled to go in for a trial with a Nevro SCS beginning the 14th of July. My husband and I are still trying our hardest to maintain a friendship, but we both know that the marriage is over. I have started looking at what procedures are involved in starting divorce proceedings and am hoping that we can work together to be able to handle it without any lawyers.

With all of that stress lifted, and the Effexor finally helping, I am feeling much better. I am still dealing with quite a bit of anxiety, and the depression still comes and goes at times, but my thoughts are much better than they were just a few months ago.

I am hoping to find the time to post a little more often from now on.

Thank you all so much for cheering me on and giving me the great support you all have given over these past few rather difficult months.
