So what a day. It has been very nice.   I got a ride to the va and back on the bus they sent for me. It was nice to be able to go by myself.   Kinda by myself. It was nice not to go without a "babysitter". It is so nice to not have to rely on family or friends to take me. Not that I am not grateful for all others do and have done for me. But it is so nice to be out on my own. 

I got to speak with a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. One person, a former therapist of mine was very nice to talk to. She can make me see things in a different light. This specific therapist took me to a pool with another therapist a while back. No sooner than we were all in the water than I wanted to do my own thing. I don't remember what was said exactly but it was something to the effect of "Nathan, don't get  your face in the water."  So what did I do?  I stuck my head in the water. What an idiot I was. I could have taken in water the wrong way and died. And what would have happened to the therapists well they would be left to explain how a patient in there care had died. Not the brightest thing I had ever done. 

I still think it is funny to think about. 

I do feel like I need to apologize for what I did. I still think it was funny but I am sorry for it. 

I am  more tired now that I am home.

I have been told now by two different Drs. that I don't need this one medication that I have been taking. So I might just finish the refills I have left and then not get it anymore. They say the condition does not exist anymore.  If that is the case great. If not and I still need it I guess we will see.  

I am taking more medications than I ever have in my whole life and I am still taking less than most people. I think the average person is taking 13 medications. I currently have five and will have four so I wonder who is taking my others. If the average is 13 for every man, woman, and child what the heck. 

If the medication is necessary that is one thing but it seems like more and more persons want a quick fix. 

I have been offered more meds and my answer is no. I figure they can give them to someone that really needs then. I know it doesn't work that way but it should. 

To put it another way. I take the medication I need no more no less.

Hope everyone is well. I was just to tired last night to finish things.
