Parachute landing fall / prepare for a hard landing
 
I'm aware that my I am I not in good shape at the moment.

I saw someone mention how training for a parachute fall in his youth helped him now that he is older


So I looked it up: distribute the energy over the course of the whole body

arms up
knees together
bend knees
roll onto buttucks

Thinking of you today.
I hope you are better today and that you are getting enough sleep.
Maybe you could go to the beach, is it cold there this time of year?

My pdoc's office called to tell me that the pdoc will send in a prescription of
Klonopin. (Had to go through more hassle than I expected.)


This is why we were meeting once a month (to get meds) but driving
to see her started to feel like torture.

I have not figured out how/if I will look for a new doctor in a few months
when her change of days affects me (only Monday and Wednesday).

I'm glad you were able to get your script :)

Changing pdocs is a big decision. You need to have someone you'll be able to get in to see when the need arises tho.

My sleep got so weird (missed too much sleep) that I had to call in sick for Wednesday.

I called the Pharmacy a few mins ago. The Klonopin is ready.



I get so anxious about the meds. I need to see pdoc more often than every three months. Still have not looked for a new pdoc yet.

The longest mine will let me go is 6 weeks. I missed my appointment Monday and have forgotten to reschedule, but I won't have a long wait. Maybe a couple of days. She, or someone else in her office, would see me the same day in the event of an emergency...

I would like to see you in a similar situation :hug:

Yes, but by her being only available Mon and Wed, I have to consider a new doctor.


I feel like a spent over a year getting us comfortable with each other.


I really do not want to break in a new pdoc.
I MIGHT be able to stay with the pdoc if I keep her visits spread out to almost to three months but I am afraid it will not work.


More importantly, the last time I looked for pdocs on my plan, they were people
I had already seen or had already ruled out.


I really do not know what to do.

What are the hours on mondays and wednesdays. Maybe you could make an early appointment, perhaps stay awake to see her once every 2-3 months?
I don't know if that would work or not for you.

Good idea, but not possible. Not ever.


Her office is 30 mins away. Then there is wait time. Then time for the appt.
Then 30 mins back or longer to get to work.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I wake up at 9:30. I get to work tremendously sleep deprived. I could not get up earlier and work the whole day.
Work starts on Monday and Wed at 11:00. I get home Monday at 7:30 p.m .

For now, I get home a little earlier on Wed.

=-=-=-=-=

I am going check to see if she has another office.
Maybe she sees patients close enough to me on days that are convenient for me.

I realize that she needs to see me more often -- she sucks on the three month plan that I suggested and she agreed to.

It's a new year, so it's possible that more pdocs have decided to accept your insurance. There may be a new option out there for you. It's worth a quick look when you are up to it.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this at all.
