Tomorrow afternoon my husband and I will have our first appointment with a mediator -- I'm not completely sure what to expect. My hope is that Kate, the mediator, will have a lot of experience with Denver County divorce forms and that that will be a part of what we work on tomorrow.
I saw the doctor yesterday and she said that I'm ready to begin the settlement -- in other words, that this is as good as my body is going to get, that I'll need periodic continued care to maintain this level, but that I probably won't improve significantly from this point. I e-mailed my lawyer this morning and asked him to start that process -- with everything else that is going on in my life, it will feel good to be moving on that.
Fiona came home from school an hour ago and it was good to see her. She had lots of fun with Jesse (a schoolmate with whom she carpools) running in circles around the car. I love to see the way she can interact with all ages -- and I love the fact that she loves her school.
In the morning her dad will come and get us both and we will take her to school and head back into Denver for our appointment. Fiona will be with Jeremy until Sunday afternoon or evening.
Wishing you all a peaceful evening.
Prayers. xo
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are getting moving on both fronts. I'm sure getting the settlement taken care of will take a load off your shoulders. You probably already know this, but be sure to be really specific in what your body is capable of and not capable of right now, especially in terms of being able/not able to work. I say that since I just started working and my old injury is flaring up horribly and I soooo wish I could go get a massage and chiropractic treatment. Hugs, friend! I'm sure it will all go great.
ReplyDeletehope your appointment with the mediator was as good as you could hope for. thinking of you all...
ReplyDeleteThe appointment with the mediator was a super total wash. At least Jeremy felt the same, but yeah, no good. The whole day, really, was a small little piece of ridiculon. (No really, I swear that's a word.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth -- It's all so so crazy -- I realized the other day that I don't think I'll ever again be able to lie on my right side in bed. And with the weather change my wrist is so achy today. Tasks like cooking still really wake everything back up to yell at me.
Last night was a hard night with lots of anxiety, fear, and freaked-out-ness -- which is not my usual M.O. and which has only happened once or twice since August, but it's really hard to talk myself back down. Deep breaths.
