I went to the ER at CHOMP yesterday. They let me go back to the hotel, and got me an appointment with Dr. B in their behavioral health area tomorrow at 11. They are also trying to get me an appointment with their therapist, Susan, who works with Dr. B. These are the two people that I used to see for straight-up depression and anxiety/panic attacks in 2006-2007.
In addition, the ER doctor gave me a prescription for all of my medications except he forgot the Allegera for my allergies, and he and I both thought it best that he not prescribe the medications that Dr. B might turn around and change tomorrow. So I was not given any psychiatric medications or anything to help me sleep. But it was very helpful, anyway.
Everyone there was very kind and compassionate. CHOMP then contacted the pharmacy to have my prescriptions (which cost over $1,100, per the receipts) paid for. So yesterday's prescriptions, for one month only, were put through as sponsored care (sponsored through donations/special funds at the hospital). I received an application for sponsored care at CHOMP, should my medical assistance application be rejected.
The medication that I take for neuropathy in my leg initially causes drowsiness, plus, I do not want to talk to anyone, and prefer that people think I am not here, so I am laying VERY low right now. (The neuropathy in my groin and leg is due to an inguinal hernia repair which resulted in ilio-inguinal nerve entrapment-severe pain-an inability to walk for a few weeks or to walk without a marked limp for months and months until another surgery for the nerve problem). I can't cope right now, and just want to be left alone, but wanted you to know what's happening.
I will write more soon. I think things will start going better in the near future, both personally and professionally, and appreciate your patience, compassion, and understanding.
