Mayo Appointment earlier in the week was the best appointment I have ever been on. The Doctors actually talk to each other I have been to Iowa City for over a year. Never once was a referral in house spoken to just notes that did not help them. Mayo Approach is amazing in and I feel like I will be able to recover now. The word Hope came back to mind as they targeted exactly what I was going there without really have to tell them. My current state as of two weeks ago I finally broke the Aphonic State (that means no voice) I am able to speak a little. I have a lot of fatigue and things to work thru but things are getting a little better. All the work at Speech Pathology finally provided positive results. Now I have an Organic Tremor in my throat that both, UNI and Mayo are concerned about. Mayo is sending me to Neurologist’s and a new Psychiatrist that specializes in issues with Dysphonia and will be able to check the meds I am currently on to see if that has any effect with the tremor. This makes me feel a lot more normal and less uneasy with my condition. I also have an issue with my current psychiatrist as he is not helping with the drugs he is prescribing.
My Aunt Kenner came and picked me up and took me to Mayo for the second time. Thanks a millions for coming all this way to go to the appointments. On our first adventure we discovered a wonderful Bar and Grill called the” Canadian Honker” had a great lunch and discovered the Best damn Cheese Curds I have ever had. I get the shakes just thinking about how awesome they really are. This trip we agreed to get some of those to go with Coffee from Caribou which is Yum too. So while waiting on Cheese Heavenly Curds I saw
The Future is looking like a return to work as of July and some less discomfort with my voice and other issues. I still have a long way to go on therapy and getting my head at peace. I know that I have family and friends to lean on for support. I also have come out of the darkness with a new outlook on things that are exciting to me and I am hoping exciting to some others too. I am reading and learning new things about how to cope with things better. I am going to try to get my work schedule changed a little so I can do the peer center and activities there to keep in check. It is easier when you are around people who are battling things to relate and feel less like an alien. I want to see some people more often and they know who they are. I hope the wrist starts to feel better as it will help with playing piano a lot it was really painful. I would like to find a teacher for lessons again and learn more maybe find a vocal coach see if I can get my voice back into shape. Kenner is always saying she wants me to sing again.
Soon it will be football season can’t wait to see if the Hawks are going to rebound. In theory they should be middle of the pack this year but a winning program is infectious. I went to Hangover 2 recently I would say it has funny moments but I felt the timing was not as good as the first movie. I also think that the person I went with should go to more events with me it was fun. I also need to get back on the walking trails try to keep the weight down. I also got news that I might be housing Solomon and Simone the wonder cats for a little bit. Phil is going to be happy to see Solomon but he is not going to be gleeful about the return of the devil Simone. Good tidings to all until I right again……
