Migraine and a webinar

I managed to get up for my 10am appointment with my pcp. We talked about things and then I asked about blood levels. She ordered a T level as well as some iron studies. I plan on getting my bloods done tomorrow as the time is right for checking my T level. I also plan on getting my haircut again. I can’t stand it not being buzzed. I wish I had the energy to shave it like I used to.

I was bored after the appointment and had a good four hours to kill before the webinar with David Jobes. I had lunch and was on social media. I thought about reading but couldn’t bring myself to do it. The game was going on as they got rained out last night. I kept checking the score on my phone. Hunter Hayes posted his updated tour dates and he is coming to Boston. I think I am going to see him, if tickets aren’t outrageous. He is playing at a club near Boston University. I chatted with my friend who knows how much I love David Jobes. Then came webinar time.

It was so good. The webinar was about the third edition of Managing Suicide Risk. I will be posting a blog about it after I read it. There is some new information and the SSF (suicide status form) is in the fifth edition. He said he doesn’t expect it to change. They are working on an SSF for kids and teens. I thought that would be great. There are a lot of studies going on with CAMS, including one in Boston that is set to start sometime next month or within the next few months. After the webinar, I searched to get the pdf of the SSF 5. I had to sign in to get it. It is wonderful to have it as you can fill it in as you go. I love this tool so much.

After I found it, I got the biggest pressure in my head. I had to lie down for a bit. My head was going to explode. I took my migraine med. I waited for the pressure to ease up before I logged back on my laptop. It would boot up or unsleep or whatever so I did a hard restart. Damn thing lost my original blog so I had to write it over. I am not happy! I need to get a new laptop but I don’t have like $1500 to get it. It will take me a good while before I can save up that much. I just got to keep this one going long enough. It works, it is just slow. I had some problems with internet connection. I don’t know if it was because the laptop was doing updates or the internet was bad. I am connected to my nephew’s so maybe I need to switch to mine. I don’t know. It is going to rain this weekend so I probably will have migraines throughout. Just sucks.

I missed my appointment with my therapist yesterday. I slept through it. I can’t believe I did that. I rescheduled for 9 on Thursday which is kind of bad as I am not one to be awake and functioning at the hour. I barely made it through my pcp’s appointment today and it was at 10. Just hope I get enough sleep is all. I set various alarms so we’ll see.

Some errands run

I was supposed to have therapy at 11 but I never woke up in time. I woke up at 1230 and got caught up in my messages. I texted my therapist, apologizing for missing our appointment. The only time open that she has is 8am Wed which is a no go for me. I don’t do morning appointments. I will have to see if I keep my appointment tomorrow with my pcp as they changed it to 10am. I set some alarms so hopefully that will get me up and have at least one cup of coffee.

I want to go out after I had three cups of coffee but I rested. I just could not get going. I finally forced myself out the door around 3pm. It was getting dark and gloomy and I didn’t want to get stuck in the rain.

I have a migraine as there are storms in the area. Within a half hour of me being home, it started to downpour. I was glad I was home and not out. I took some ibuprofen as my tooth started hurting. I don’t know which one it is but there are three of them that hurt about the same time. I think the last one needs a root canal as it is very sensitive to temperature. I really think I need to get back on MassHealth so I will have dental care and it can do all the work that needs to be done. Trouble will be finding a dentist that takes MassHealth.

Last week I went to the casino and saw Sara Evans. She was great. I love her a lot. I did a LOT of walking in the casino. So much so that Saturday I was in bed the whole day. I didn’t get up except to use the bathroom. I was toast. I was so tired. My ankle/foot flared up. I honestly have no idea how I dealt with the pain before. It was bad. I was taking pain meds to keep it at bay. It helped. Yesterday my sister had a get together with some of my brother in law’s friends. It was a good time. The food was good. I ate too much as I was up around 2am with heartburn. It was awful. I feel better now.
