Today I went to what I thought was my psych appointment. It turned out being an appointment with the PA. It seems to have been a meaningless hoop to jump through in this process. I had been told that when I went to the appointment all of the other appointments would be scheduled at that time. I left without even one scheduled. They said they would mail me another packet within 2 weeks with all of the information in it. I very much stressed that I really wanted everything to be scheduled quickly so I could get the surgery before the end of June. I really dislike waiting. I did, however, leave with the instructions to contact some of my doctors to get clearances so I will not have to re-do tests. I suppose that IS better than nothing.
Yesterday I stepped down to using only 1 ibuprofen 3 times a day. My jaw pain is not unbearable, but it is pretty strong. I am hoping that in the next week or so the pain will lessen. I also backed down to 2 lyrica instead of 3 (I take that for my headaches). I am really really really trying to become as medication free as possible. Before the surgery.
I am in a pretty big funk this evening. I consider it a victory that I have not turned to food. In fact, I hadn't even thought about food until just now. What a big improvement!
