UPDATEThursday, June 14, 20071:35 PM So far, this has been a wasted and time-consuming day. Things did not go well at the mental health clinic. I requested to see one nurse, and had to see another. The explanation I received was that the one I saw was familiar with my case and had done most of the work trying to get more medication for me. I talked with her for about an hour while she reviewed my case, and made long-distance calls on my behalf. Nothing worked.It looks as though sometime next week I am going to have to try using a 24-hour patch each day. If I have a bad reaction to it and wind up in the ER, I am supposed to have the hospital send the clinic a fax documenting what was wrong with me and what was done about it. I will be pleasantly surprised if I do not have an allergic reaction and go to the ER. I think my sister is going to come over and spend part of the first day with me. In that way, if I should pass out, she will be there to call the paramedics.After I was finished at the clinic, I had to wait two hours for my transportation to show up. I became somewhat upset at that. On the other hand, I had some things in common with my driver, which made conversation very easy and interesting.All in all, I feel disappointed and discouraged.
