Well, another two years have passed since my last blog entry. A lot has happened. We have had the landlords from hell in Chicagoland including the suburb of Cicero. Last month we decided to make a huge leap and move to Des Moines, Iowa. The ride took six hours including four stops on August 31st. I took a Klonopin before we started and I had a great time riding and navigating us while Leanne drove.
I've been in Des Moines for about two weeks and in that time, I've had one panic attack and two anxiety attacks. I ran out of Klonopin on August 2nd which means I've been for two weeks I ran out because Anthony was taking my Klonopin behind my back. At first, I took 50mg of Trazadone to deal with anxiety and panic attack. Once I got past two weeks without Klonopin I had gone through the withdrawal and got to the other side.
I'm shocked how well I'm doing. My only crutch is the internet, Facebook and my phone accessing these things. We are going to look for a home and a used car soon. We have been living in an inn for a little over two weeks. It's a nice cheap place. Also, sad news. Leanne's first husband and father of her son passed away on August 31st. He had brain cancer and was suffering for a long time. Her son, Anthony, is taking it hard. His aunts and uncles are helping as much as they can. We are trying to give him space and time to deal with this death in his own way. I never met Mario (Anthony's dad and Leanne's first husband). Yet being an empath, I felt Anthony's pain. Anthony came with Leanne and me from Cicero, Il. It's a long story I won't get into.
My current dilemma is getting my refills of Trazadone, Effexor, and Zyprexa here in Iowa. I was on Medicaid in Illinois and now I have to sign up for Iowa Medicaid. Pray I get it fast after I apply or I will have to endure whatever will happen when I go off ALL my medication. I'll post updates to all of this when there is more to update. Stay tuned for updates.
