Status Unkown

Tuesday – W arrived at 6 PM. She was very impressed by what I’ve done on the house, but we didn’t stay long. Had a great dinner at our favorite Mexican place. She talked the whole time, which is unusual but I liked it. Usually it was the other way around.

The hotel was fantastic. W had mentioned it because Jessica Simpson likes to go there with Ashlee. We had a great time, and she really liked the Make-a-Wish bear I bought her. Plenty of my cologne on it of course

I got a great deal on the room, and even had room-service breakfast included. We’ve never done that, it was a blast. And left time for more naughtiness before checking out…

Her doctor appointment was at 1:30 Wednesday, and she started being weird about it. We had to drop by my place to check on her dog, and she said she’d rather go to her appointment alone. This made me sad, because I asked off work specifically to drive her there, but I stayed upbeat. Finally she said that I’m usually annoying at doctor’s appointments. We had a nice talk about that, and I promised to be better. No laptop, etc. To my surprise, she not only let me come but invited me into the appointment. Much better than the waiting room. I learned a lot during the consultation:

- her stress has gone way up since moving home (go figure). She described her parents as “very annoying”. Doctor recommended she get her own place, which she said she’ll do within 6 months.
- None of the medicines are helping her. They’ll be trying increased doses of some, dropping others, blah blah blah. How frustrating.
- W pushed to start taking narcotics, doctor was resistant. Rebound headaches are a big concern. He prescribed Hydrocodone, but a very limited amount.

We left the appointment, and W got a text saying she couldn’t stay with her friend (darn). I tried not to act happy. W’s friend is a divorced former co-worker who gives her a lot of bad advice. She also shared a couple blogs which have helped her begin to cope with this:

We had a nice dinner at home, and wanted to see a movie but her headache got worse. I got to hold her for the rest of the night and try and take away some of the pain. Strange that a year ago this made me angry, when our plans were crushed, etc. Now I’m so happy just to be with her. I still don’t know if she wants my long-term help, but it was nice.

So, that was Wednesday, more in a bit.
