Another busy weekend

Today my dad is coming to pick up Henry and they are going to go the Mariners game, Tim and I will be going to our friends wedding and spending the night! I am pretty excited.

I went to see that psychiatrist and she confirmed that I have post traumatic stress disorder. She gave me a prescription for some medication and a referral to a therapy clinic that deals exclusively with ptsd. She assured me that these freak outs I've been having in the car are perfectly normal and that I should eventually get over this but it will take some time. Tim is a little concerned about the medication. He thinks that they should have to talk to me longer than half an hour to prescribe medication but I looked into it and I am willing to try it for a few months. If I don't notice a difference I'll stop taking it. At this point I am ready to put all this behind me and move on.

I also saw my new physical therapist. He said that for what happened, my knee is in pretty good shape. However, my ankle is really stiff from not using it for two months. He gave me some exercises to do at home and has me coming in twice a week for the next little while.

My little Henry man has started walking on his own! When he wants something bad enough, he just walks over to it! I wouldn't say that walking is his primary mode of transportation yet but he is doing it without us prompting him so that is pretty exciting.

  1. So sorry to read about your PTSD, but hopefully the meds help get you through it!
    Henry is a walking, talking little man!
