I sent the pdoc release out priority mail yesterday and they said it would take 2-3 days for the letter to arrive, but I just checked the tracking number and it arrived this morning...

Maybe I'll get a call back today if they have an issue with the release she signed.

I called the organization putting on the class to verify they got the med release (even though I knew damn well they got it). They didn't mention an issue with it, so I had my husband bring me to the post office to mail the contract.

While we were at the grocery store, my PCP's office called and said the form was ready to be picked up So, I had to ask my husband to drive me to the office to pick it up. The MD was VERY careful to note that the psych meds and conditions were my "psych team's" responsibility to evaluate, but he signed the release regarding the MS and Synthroid. And I decided it was best to send it in to be safe.

I had to have my husband drive me back to the post office AGAIN. He was not a happy camper, actually still isn't. But it saved about $60 in cab fare.
The contract and other med release should arrive at their office tomorrow morning.

As far as I can tell, this is all over and done with until I get to the class Friday. I couldn't be happier!!!

I'm still not bringing the Synthroid for the weekend because it wasn't prescribed by the MD who filled out the medical release form and I anticipate problems. Missing it for 2 days won't kill me.

I'm happy to be done with this bureaucratic (expletive)

wow kay!
You are such a trooper.
what a relief. It is this friday? wow that is really rushing it to get everything "signed, sealed, delivered..I am yours...."
lol
job well done!

Yes, it's this Friday. That's why I had to do all the rushing around and worrying. I want to get the class over with ASAP so I can hopefully get my license back next month. I haven't driven since December. Hopefully I won't have to relearn how to drive in the snow.

I have a feeling these people are going to be confused as to why they are getting another med release form. It's easy enough to explain: one is for psych and psych meds, the other is for MS, hypothyroidism, and synthroid and is signed by an MD so it covers your *** for the stairs.

My husband isn't happy I'm going. He thinks it's "weird." This program was designed for people who aren't able to get the class over with during the week- it's not witch craft lol. He also wants me to remember that these people are not my friends.
Of course I'm going to be friendly. I have no reason not to be. But I've been sober for 3mo. and I don't think a court mandated program for DUI is the place for me to forge long lasting friendships.

SOOOOOOOOOO glad that crap is taken care of!!!

Now I just have a little anxiety about the class itself, but I feel like a million bucks compared to what I felt like the last two days. I'm still really surprised I'm doing this, but I guess I'm just really focused on meeting an objective.

good for you. your husband really sounds possessive

I like to think your husband is just worrying about you. And its a good
test on the sobriety part. I have all the faith in you doing this.

Kay,



You are amazing.

You did great.

I did some research on NH law regarding these intakes and classes and this is what I found:

"For individuals who have screened negative for a likelihood of a substance use disorder, pursuant to He-A 507.02, but for whom new information is revealed during an IDEP session or otherwise learned by the IDCMP that indicates the appropriateness of an evaluation, the IDCMP shall require the client to submit to the evaluation and shall notify the client’s prosecutor of such requirement."

IDEP session= the driving class I just took
IDCMP= the organization I took the intake with

Barring a miracle, I'm (expletived).

The evaluation will be in NH, I will have to get a ride, and it will cost me $200.

I have no idea what their recommendations will be, but I'm not letting them within a thousand, make that a million, miles of the mental health department. They will have to satisfy themselves with what pdoc has to offer.

I guess if I can find an appropriate counselor locally in MA I can go that route for an extra $350. It's something to consider since there's no way I can get regular transportation to NH and I won't have to worry about paying for auto insurance anytime soon, since it will take me God knows how long to satisfy NH that I'm fit to drive.

I'm probably going to stick to my plan of waiting a week and calling. I don't wait well, and the sooner I get this started, the sooner I get it over with.

I am (expletived). I knew it. Nobody's ever accused me of being stupid.

Kay,

Stick to your plan of waiting a week.

Then go to a lawyer for a consultation.
It is possible that for a reasonable amount of money he or she can help you.

I agree with mari, wait a week then see how you feel.
