Amber:

I feel relief med appointments have begun, finally, for B's continued health journey.

Good on'ya for embracing domestic bliss in this glorious fall weather!  I hope you guys!

One step at a time. 

sKePTiKal:
Headed out today, for a short sight-seeing trip for B, before we check in at hotel for tomorrow's important appointment. Lots of local stuff on the way (if a bit of a detour) that are right up his interest alley. Only reason we're staying overnight up there, is because the highway is under construction - it's full of trucks - and it's a morning appt during rush hour traffic. I ain't white-knuckling that section while people are driving like maniacs.

His anxiety started kicking in yesterday; it's fueling mine too - and I'm trying to find some fun today for both of us. But the hotel was his idea. And it kicked in my imagination's devious plans for taking his mind off his fears.

I don't know why I battled 5oclock Atlanta traffic all those months for weekly appointments,Amber.Well, I understand the necessity for the first few visits, but then I could have changed them and didn't. 

  It's an unecessary stress.   I used my stress as an indicator to how well I was doing, I think.  Like a weekly test.   Driving into Atlanta went from trauma to pleasure, which was sea change for my nervous system...... and then I stepped away from the 5pm Friday drives. 

So, are the touristy things anything to do with apple festivals and local produce OR are they to do with mechanical things, etc?

Hopalong:
Amber, I love the idea of turning this necessary excursion into a much simpler trip. YES hotel. YES interesting detours. YES discovery.

Might be easier to enjoy the distractions after all the appts, but a few good diversions along the way should help too.

I'm sorry B. is feeling nervous about it; I share y'alls' revulsion for really busy interstate. I've often plotted trips to be up to an hour longer so I can take the beautiful byways. Interstates are for shippers, imo.

Hope it goes smoothly and B feels confidence in his new medical team.

HUGS,
Hops

sKePTiKal:
Thanks Hops. We did enjoy the day, the (to me) familiar roads from long ago and fun places to just be in. Lovely dinner & evening.

And the news upon arriving at the Drs. office that the visit wasn't approved wasn't well received. Still trying to digest that one. And decide how to proceed from here. Very obtuse path looking forward -- but trying anyway.

Debriefing our absence at the farm with Hol in a bit, so I'll write more later. I'm OK; he's angry, but still being rational & patient. We have one more appt, next week. IF it was also approved. I'm pretty much confused by the insurance situation he's dealing with - but trying to follow it right now. I KNOW we're missing a piece of information - but no idea what it might be right now.
