Migraine, meds and sleep. Another doona day but it wasn't for the whole afternoon as I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. Answered some of my questions but not all of them. He is going to try me on a new a/d when I go to hospital in August. Not sure how I feel about that - scared but it is a new one which he things is good for me. He said he wanted to try a new a/d on me and for the life of me my mind and hand couldn't get it's act together to get the name of the medication for at least 5 attepts. Finally got it. He was happy we had settled the case - his mouth dropped when he heard/read about the settlement.
We then had an appointment with his wife - a dermatologist as hubby as a skin condition that is rare and it is infected. He is on a course of antibiotics and has to wash the infected area with phisohex and use an antibiotic cream. Not sure about his cream that he was given for the skin in the first place - we both forgot to ask about that one. He is going back to see her on Monday - the path results will be back then so they will know what they are dealing with.
He saw his gp and has to take folic acid tablets as it was low in the full blood count - dermatologist is going to get a copy of the blood tests to see if she can find a course for the skin infection/wound infections.
Queen Bee called after all this time and was shitty with the settlement figure I made. Believes it should have been 6 figures but there was no what we were going to get the 6 figures she is looking at $500K plus. We had several conversations as I hung up on her as she was annoying me and when I rang back, she was on the phone. Have to find out how much centrelink is going to take from my settlement figure. I thought she wanted some money I have but she wants a different lot of money so I am totally confused with how much I am paying her.
Fly - thanks for your comments about my doona day. Didn't talk to the psychiatrist about me having doona days as I have them alot when I am in hospital. Looks like I am going to be in hospital in August/September for med review/changes and that scares me as I feel fine with the meds I am on. Must talk to him some more when I have my next appointment about the need for the change of meds. Queen Bee has now got a bee in her bonnet about stopping the meds permanently. Told her it won't happen until I go to hospital in August as we are going to Tassie again in July and she cracked a narnie big time about how we can afford to go on these holidays when everyone is paying for our bills - not true as I reminded her.
It was a very unpleasant experience talking to Queen Bee and she wonders why my sister hasn't returned any of her calls - wants to talk to my nephew to thank him for the soap he sent and home made card for mother's day/grandmother's day. My sister just ignores the calls on the answering machine as I do but when hubby answers the phone it is a bit hard to ignore the machine.
Take Care All!!!
