My hearing is on Monday. I'm hoping the decision is favorable but based on the statistics I know I stand a high chance of being denied and having to take the next step in the process so I'm preparing myself mentally for that.
Tomorrow morning I start taking a whole dose of Lexapro. The side effects with the smaller amount have been minimal so I'm hoping I will tolerate the higher one.
My head is still hurting 24/7 and tonight I found out that driving in the dark is something I should avoid at all costs. I almost put the van off the edge of the driveway and into a cedar tree.
Adjustments of this kind for someone as fiercely independent as I used to be are difficult at best.

I've been here on earth for just over half a century. For the last several years, I've had a chronic pain condition as my constant companion. I've learned to value each and every day simply because it is there; to love and appreciate my family and friends; to enjoy life and love no matter the restrictions on my time or activity; and, most importantly, to love and worship God in any way I can regardless of my limitations.

The older I get, the more I lean on God. He is my all in all and from Him I get the strength to go on from day to day. Currently He has allowed me to be afflicted with a nerve-based disability that has taken me out of the mainstream workplace and changed the way I live my life; in this, I see more and more how dependent I am on Him for every moment of every day. Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I can do all things.

"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive." Jeremiah 29:11-14, Amplified Bible

oh my. giving up independence is really tough--especially driving. it's almost a surrender of freedom. thankfully the days are little longer.
