Fear

[enduringplum]

August is still almost a half a year away, but I'm already dreading it; I've never been really nervous about hurricane season before, but now I'm actually a little afraid. We're not even close to being back on our feet yet and we only have half a year to prepare (to what extent we can) for the next big one.

I can't worry about it, though, because there's not really much I can do that I'm not already doing. I've just got to keep keeping up with the news, lobbying for progress and better levees, and rebuilding my own life. 

Aetna has reinstated my disability and should be sending me a check with the payments I should have been receiving for the last three months. Getting my reinstatement letter in the mail has taken a huge weight off my shoulders because now I have some way to make my expensive insurance payments so that I can keep seeing the doctors and taking the treatments I need.

I think the physical therapy I've been doing has helped; After two weeks of not going due to my insurance I've noticed various pains have returned that I didn't even notice were gone when I was doing the therapy. I think I also sleep better when I've spent a few hours in the pool, which is something other types of exercise have never given me.

That is good news about the insurance. Hopefully the house good news will follow.

It is so hard to control fear, I really hope for everyone that this hurricane season is gentle.
