Oh dear @TAB
Sounds very challenging health wise for you to go bush for the next fortnight. Have your medical team give you the ok? I don't mean to be rude in asking, but asking out of concern?
Is it for work? Where you don't 'really' have a choice?
please take care my friend! If it's a good thing you go, I hope you achieve what you need to.
if it's a struggle to go, please look after yourself & ask for help when you need it

Hey @WIP thanks for your message. My sleep is improving at last (it evidently was medication-related). We plan to talk to 14yo son tonight after his drama class. I encouraged him to 'touch base' with the school guidance officer which he didn't seem enthusiastic about. I'm also disappointed that so far she apparently hasn't kept up her end of the bargain re her suggestion they keep in touch every couple of days (she'd also promised an IQ test to support class changes). He was lively and joking with siblings on the weekend & has started a mammoth Lego we got him. His 2nd GP appointment is this Friday. He's not interested in her suggestion of equine therapy.
Poor Levi must have been in quite a state - hope you've both caught up on rest. I think it's excellent that regular or at least a baseline ECG will be done given the circumstances you've described. Have all the treatment possibilities been explored for major depression (treatment-resistant) including the less common ones that are still relatively mainstream?
Back to me 😉 do you think it's unreasonable to be cross with a husband who has epilepsy & whose medi-alert wristband has broken but has said it is not a priority to order a new one when he has been home all day - "there are more important priorities" .... but none that he's made me aware of 😳😡
