I've been on the Cymbalta for a week now, and I can say for certain it's making a HUGE difference. In fact, I don't think it's possible for me to overstate how important it is to my recovery. For the last week I've been attending an outpatient program here in Trenton. I'm not going to get into specifics, and I'm certainly not going to go full-on Stuart Smalley here, but it's been very helpful.
Next week I'm travelling to Boston for a week. With some luck we'll sign a lease on an apartment in the Amherst area. Then I'm going to California for a couple months, both to pack and to spend some time with Travis. I miss him terribly, as you might suspect. Then it's back to MA in September (assuming we get an apartment lined up for that time) and my life as a New Englander begins. :)
Oh. I have another goal, too: lose 110+ pounds for surgery. In May, I was offered assistance in paying for surgery. I consulted with two surgeons, both of whom told me I would need to lose a LOT of weight before they'd perform surgery on me. I currently top the scales at 358 pounds so I've got my work cut out for me. I am not setting ANY firm dates. I will lose the weight when I lose it, and I will get my surgery when I get it.
