Misery and Mirth

Valentine’s Day Surprise & Other Stuff

The “Mental Test” I had to endure On Feb. 13th for SS was a joke, I don’t even know if the man was a certified psychiatrist or psychologist. He met me in conference room of a hotel and just read off questions from a questionnaire. How can you diagnose if someone has depression or any disorder from 30 min questionnaire, in a strange place with a person they likely don’t trust and not gonna open up to. Just bullshit and they know it all part of the game to disqualify an applicant.

Wednesday Feb.14th was Valentines Day. Rob and I went to OUT BACK steak house. Right after our dessert was served he got down on one knee, presented me with lovely ring of ½ ct blue marquise diamond surrounded by ½ ct of small white diamonds and asked me to Marry Him. I of course said yes. There was flurry of hugging and kissing and me crying a lil.

Thursday I went to The Clark Eye Center for the results of my tests from a few weeks ago, I do appear to have some loss in peripheral vision, which is a result of the PseudoTumor Cerebi. The PTC gets worse with steroids so when the Orthopedic gave me the steroid shot in my hip the week before my eye exam of course the intracranial pressure was much worse and causing all kinds of problems. So Eye doc told me to go see my neurologist, I told him yes I see her Monday and told me to come back in 6 months to get all kinds testing done again. Oh joy.

Friday I had my CPAP delivered right to my home. They had me try on few different nose masks; the petite one fit me best. This machine might even be more fancy than one used on me from sleep study. I haven’t used it yet because I need to get a bed side table that can fit it.

Rob took week vacation and spent it out here with me, this Saturday we have to go back and tell his family that we are engaged.
