Today has been good. I woke up still pissed off and angry from yesterday but have been positive.
Increased meal plan is okay. Really full but okay.
Finally had a session with my 'therapist' aka Social Worker. It went really well and I liked her a lot. She rowed in college and was trying to relate different things to crew to make it more comfortable to do/deal with etc. We talked about a lot and she said that from talking to my treatment team (which apparently meets everyday) and talking to me that she wants me to write her a note/page/etc everyday and slide it under her door to keep her posted. Apparently my psych here said that I get a lot out in writing and my writing has a lot of insight (he gives me a written assignment each day).
I asked my psych for an update on how they thought I was doing and he said that they felt I was doing very well and are impressed. The one thing he wants us to focus on is my head and all the shit swirling around in it. My SW firsthanded noticed that today when i would jump subject to subject and she would have to regroup me. So that was positive.
My SW and dietitian gave me some times that Carlos could come in for a meal and asked me to ask him. Apparently my SW said that after our meeting last week when she told Carlos my health info and weight, that she also told him he has no option and has to come for a family meal. No was not acceptable!!!
So I called Carlos and asked him about one day, he said "no. I have work that night and don't want to hit any traffic." (p.s. there is no traffic if he came for lunch.
I asked him about another date, "no I'm going to dinner at my mom's." Nothing I said 'worked' for him. I was pissed.
I told marissa (my SW) and she told me to write his number down on a sheet of paper, slide it under her door and she would call him and make it happen.
She called him and did make it happen. She came up to me and said he will be here Thursday at 1200 for family therapy and then have lunch at 1300 (dietitian, me, carlos). I was shocked!!! She said that she made it so he had no excuse...aka she told him any day lunch or dinner is fine. So he can't clearly be busy everyday! So he said thursday lunch and she said okay. She had to reschedule things but she wasn't going to let him get away! Bwahahaha
Last thing, Marisa told me at the end of our session that there may be some issues with insurance. Insurance called the people here in charge of billing etc and said that the last day they will cover is this Thursday. FUCK! That's inpatient. So when this person from billing told Marisa she responded saying, holy shit and then said well, we can usually get them to let patients to go into PHP so we can work with that even though its not the ideal. The lady in Billing said she wasn't sure because they have been difficult to work with so far.
Fingers crossed. I don't think Thursday is good to completely leave. I know I can do it, but I think longer is probably better here. I mean that's only 10 days here. Shit man. Well, all I can do is wait. Something will work out. I feel as though the hospital will be able to twist their arms.

Thank you for all the love and support!!
