I took my time getting ready for my dietician appointment, but when I was ready, I was happy. I was a little nervous, but Aaron put me at ease and seeing the doctor again was about as good as it was the first time. I saw her 2.5 years ago and she gave me wonderful advice, but my insurance took forever to cover the appointment and it spooked me – only I really need this kind of help, due to my gastroparesis and also for my PTSD, so this was a good day. Aaron spoke up for me anytime I stumbled but I did do a lot of the speaking for myself. He later said how proud he was of me for making the appointment happen so quickly, showing up and being open to this work, which made me feel good. I thanked him also. This was a team effort.
My dietician works in the fancy part of the FANCY PART of town. Hard to imagine this being the same island that we live on.
We ordered some groceries. I have cravings for different foods but I’m excited to try some new stuff. This could be very difficult, but sometimes things like this surprises me. And I have my therapist to help and I need to reach out to another therapist about some group work that 2 of my other doctors have recommended I try. So many doctors! But I feel very lucky to have their input.
I took a sleeping pill which is starting to kick in and I need to sleep.
