So I may have mentioned stuff that’s happening in my life. I have to radically change my diet because liver issues, for instance. Well, there are more changes coming.

So I was at my doctor recently, and she recommended that I get a conversion. What that means is that I would switch from the sleeve gastrectomy I had in 2019 to the gastric bypass. Her reason that she would give to the insurance company is to counter severe acid reflux. And I do have some reflux, as I take an OTC version of Omeprazole as needed. So I have to start the process of surgery once again. Monthly visits, psych evaluation, blood work, the whole nine yards. I’m going to go for it. Plus, the diet required may help me kick start what stalled during the pandemic.
The other thing that may be about to change will be next time I see my therapist. I’m going to ask to go through the autism spectrum battery. If I can determine the nature of my neurodivergence, perhaps it will help make me a more effective teacher.
Change can be scary. Change can be good. Either way, it opens up new opportunities for growth and development. I’ll keep updating on what’s going on as I continue this journey Into The Wild through my Shadows
So now, on to Tops!

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
