Well my appointment wasn't as good as your oldest boys

So I informed my neurologist that there is just no way I could stop holding back my tics and outburst especially right now. Work is about to get crazy busy and I'm going to be having 8 to 10 appointments a day for open enrollment for the next 6 to 8 weeks. So it's just impossible for me to not hold them back when I'm having appointments with people in the office. She was not happy.

I told her that I would not hold them back on the weekends. She still did not seem to like that. I was worried she was going to stop seeing me but she scheduled me another appointment in 2 weeks.

I just don't know if she understands what she's actually asking me to do. It's a little frustrating but other than that I really enjoyed her and she has helped me a lot. Guess we don't see eye to eye with everybody.

So now we're heading home and we're going to have chicken alfredo and caesar salad and make s'mores by the fire outside it's a nice night. Not sure if we're going to watch baseball or movies or just listen to music but I'm looking forward to it anyways.

I can totally understand how that would be frustrating. It sounds like your neurologist means well but maybe doesn’t fully grasp what that would be like for you in real life — especially with such a busy schedule coming up. I’m really glad she’s still willing to keep working with you though; that says a lot. She can’t expect you to ruin your life which it sounds like could happen if you can’t hold the tics in. I’m sorry hon.

Dinner and s’mores by the fire sound amazing — whatever you all choose for entertainment, it sounds like a really good night.

@MyMonstersAreReal it is very frustrating at times. I am trying I work on controlling and redirecting my tics every day and I am having less of them. But she seems to think I should be making more progress than I am.
