That sounds like a hella stressful week. I'll be thinking of you and your mom, sending positive vibes.
It seems to always be the way with medical appointments, they all come at once and you get stuck running around all week. I hope all the tests go well. Tests when you can't eat or drink normally suck (I'm not allowed to drink for like the next ten hours because of a kidney test I'm having whines)As for the dark room? There just asking for people to fall asleep.
I don't know what's going on with your medicaid, but I wish you lots of luck in court. If you need to chat or vent I'm always avilable to listen, you can shoot me an email or a tumblr message any time, even if you just need to ramble to decompresses from the stress.
Using my Frank icon because he's had a bunch of health issues, so it seemed right for this post.
