Settling in

So things are starting to settle down on this end. I again have access to
pain killers (that week without, including the withdrawal complications,
was *very* enjoyable) and the family is once again together.

We were able to return the borrowed car and are now firmly ensconced at our
new home. There's still so much to do though, that relaxing isn't really an
option for the next few months. I've got to find new doctors, get updated
prescriptions, we have to ready the house for our furniture (it's still
fully furnished with old stuff) and we have to pay the movers and catch up
on our bills which we let slide a bit to ensure we'd have cash on hand for
the transition and road trip.

While I have access to my primary painkillers, I've got a set of secondary
ones that I can't get just yet. Turns out my insurance is all messed up.
I'm on an enhanced coverage plan, which should cover 90% of drug costs; the
insurance company has me listed at 70%... Needless to say, I'm currently
speaking with my employer about correcting the discrepancy, because some of
my meds are seriously expensive.

That means that I spend a lot of days hunched over, sweating excessively
from pain, and that my mobility and stamina are seriously hamstrung.

Hopefully this will all settle down in a month or so and I can get back to
my usual levels of suffering...
:P
