Who would have ever thought that returning to America would make me feel like such a foreigner. Its nice to see family as its been a long time since my last visit, but I don't feel completely at home yet, mostly because my heart is still in England. Don't get me wrong I love my family to bits and I know they would do anything for me but I have such an unexplainable pull to go back to England.
I don't know how long I'll be here. At least until I'm better however long that takes. I'm already missing socialized medicine. Spending $300 for a GP consult and an xray was not an enjoyable experience. I dread to think about the cost of the neuro consult that will be coming up.
But I am also exploring alternative medicine well. I'm going to see an acupuncturist that has dealt with people that have seizures before and he seems quite confident he can help. The neurologist once I get an appointment will also hopefully get my meds balanced out.
The past few months have been hectic. I convinced my gp in Canterbury to let me go back to work in may which I now realize was a mistake. Hind site is an interesting thing, always manages to bit you in the ass. But I'm taking one day at a time and each day will bring me once step closer for my reason to wanting to be in England.
I have my same old phone number again here in america so all my american friends just send me a text with who you are and I'll get you back into my contact list. For all my U.K. friends I have a couple of different apps we can use to text each other for free. Either download whatsapp onto your phone or KakaoTalk. Both are free and we can talk to each without it costing anyone anything. Just facebook me or send me a text to my U.K. phone all my U.K. friends and I'll give you my american number.
Guess that's it for now.
Well guess that's it for now
