Feb 3 WOW

Just another day in the life...
Got up early and got the kids ready, left the house 30 min earlier than normal to be at Pieter's IEP before 8 (got in the car at 7:45.) Went down the driveway and got stuck at the end, again. That is the 3rd time in so many days. The driveway is almost completely ice now and chunks of it. 
I ran in to wake up Pete and he got dressed and came to work on it and by 8:10 I was beside myself. I was pretty frustrated at 8, actually. I sprinted the shortest possible distance to school, a zigzag of 5 blocks, wearing combat boots, jeans, a tank top and a thin cotton hoodie. I didn't even realize my hands were cold until I got inside and tried to write.
I am thankful the team was understanding and was patient for me to try to catch my breath and catch up. We had to be done before 9 so I could take Aubs to her 6-hour neuropsych testing... 
I am thankful another helpful neighbor, Jill VanVliet, got my kids to school and Pete eventually freed the vehicle to bring to me. So after the IEP Aubs and I dropped him at home on the way to her testing. 
At Aubs' testing, they found out a lot more than they expected so we will go back for more on Thursday morning. No results for us until Feb 20. She's definitely a smart cookie though! 

I'm off to take Pete to pick up his rental car so he can leave this evening for Detroit and hopefully be home Thursday evening. We are missing him a lot.
Nothing seems to slow down here.

K Journey Update!

People often ask me about my ketamine experience - especially since I’ve been doing it since the early days, before most clinics had protocols for mental health. So I wanted to share my journey: the awkward beginnings, the hope, the setbacks, and the healing. I’m an almost-50-yr-old mom to three adults, and have had PTSD since childhood, anxiety and depression since early childhood, but received no diagnoses until I was 30. I’ve been in therapy since my diagnoses. Ive been inpatient 10x (2007-2015), I’ve tried over 40 medications, many natural remedies, a healthier body, ECT shock therapy, TMS, genetic testing, and have been to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic for my mental health. NOTHING helped until I tried Ketamine. I heard about it in 2015 and knew I wanted to try it. Unfortunately there were no clinics near me then, and the cost was $1500 per IV session. Not doable. I waited until 2017 when my pain clinic offered it, then at $350 a session no more insurance coverages. In 2020 my ...

Sleep vastly improved!

I can now stay up most nights until 9 and wake up at 7 feeling refreshed! This is HUGE! I still don’t do much during the day due to pain, but I feel hope inside and not constantly covered by a cloud of depression. I feel some anxiety that the treatment isn’t going to help the pain (maybe it is an underlying condition that a dr needs to get on top of? Or maybe I am just too sensitive?) But my anxiety is down to like a 3 from a 8-9 which is wonderful and my depression is down to zero from an 8-9. Thank you God! Thanks Nick for sticking with me and not giving up. I feel like I’m getting my life back! I’m still hoping to figure out this hand tingling and pain (again maybe pinched nerves in my neck too which we know are there, I’ve had hand tingling on and off for years this is just worse the last few days and I don’t know why, ketamine should decrease not increase pain.) I’m such an odd duck. 🤦‍♀️
