Guess she wants to wait until next week to have lunch. Bummer http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/95247/heard-friend http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/95215/staying-today Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:21:04 -0500 EmilyG It's a bit chilly so I'm staying indoors today, not that the house is much warmer! I didn't feel like getting into my car today. I'm feeling a little down. My best friend hasn't gotten back in touch with me about getting together this week. I sent her one email saying do you mind if we just eat lunch at my place instead of going out because I needed to save money for a hair appointment later this week, I didn't hear back. Last night I decided I... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/95215/staying-today http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/95088/days Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:45:46 -0500 EmilyG I don't think I've posted on here in a few days. We are still waiting to hear back from the Dr about my FISH test results. I read that it can take about ten days, I had it done last Tuesday on the 10th so it could be within the next few days that we find out. I found a list on the foundation's website and in almost all the catagories I've had something. If I test positive I am going to go to the conference in July. It's in Salt Lake City so my... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/95088/days http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94837/books-weekend Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:07:29 -0500 EmilyG Today it's Saturday!!! Last Saturday was hard. I think I was worried about if my Dr. would order that bloodwork for me, I knew she probably would but one never can tell. So this weekend is going a little better even though it's just a little after 11am. I am going to try to read today. Is anyone else reading any good books out there? http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94837/books-weekend http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94738/week-part-good Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:53:04 -0500 EmilyG This week has been full of ups and downs. But yesterday it was all up (well until I got sick last night). Yesterday I spent the day with my best friend. We went out to lunch she drove me to the post office, we went to the dollar tree store and she went into UCP about a job possibiliy. She's been looking all over town and her sister who works at UCP told her about a job opening at UCP. Keep your fingers crossed, she's applied at 12 different... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94738/week-part-good http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94530/hard Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:39:33 -0500 EmilyG Today was a good day. My Mom who is a special ed teacher had the day off from work so we went to Barnes and Nobles and Target. Then I came home and played on the computer for most of the day and then my Aunt stopped by for a visit so that was good too. I'm trying so hard not to think about the FISH test results. I keep thinking of the lyrics from Let It Be by The Beatles "there will be an answer. let it be" but it's been hard. I remind myself... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94530/hard http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94395/today Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:56:20 -0500 EmilyG Another busy day. Funny I quit school and within a couple of weeks life has gotten better. I was accepted to get services at DRAIL (Independent Living Center). They are going to teach me money management and one on one cooking skills, they are going to come out to my house for the cooking and I think money management. My parents seemed pleased with that idea...and I think my Mom believes I'll be able to cook dinner for her more often so she... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94395/today http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94179/happy-monday Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:20:28 -0500 EmilyG Got to see my primary doctor today and got a flu shot. I'm on the second tier for H1N1 so no shot for that yet. My Dr did order the FISH test to see if I have a 22Q Deleation. I have to go to another lab in town that specilaizes in that, didn't know we had one in town. The things you learn. She is even having it sent back not just to her but to the second dr we have been in touch with at UC Davis. She's a great primary care dr and i'm truly... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94179/happy-monday http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94062/small-update Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:11:15 -0500 EmilyG Just wanted to tell you all that today went much better and a lot faster. I have another busy week ahead of me hope I can get some rest tonight but it's too early for bed http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/94062/small-update http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/93908/feeling-today Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:04:37 -0500 EmilyG I had a great week and I am looking forward to next week but I am having a hard time keeping busy. I am trying to find out more about the DRAIL Agency that I am going to on Tuesday but there is not a whole lot of information on the web. They do have a website but it's limited. Has anyone used an Independent Living Center before? http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/687828/93908/feeling-today
