Getting the news that there was a problem

I guess some background about my husband is needed before I go into the day that changed everything. Although he had regular check-ups and good medical care his whole life all the doctors ever told him was that his heart made a faint clicking noise, but if he felt ok not to worry about it.

My life continues to be stressful. The co-pay for the liquid suspension form of Trileptal came back being way more expensive than I thought it would be, so on Monday I'm going to have to call Aetna and find out what's up. Luckily the Keppra generic is cheap, so I'll pick that up today.

Feeling good

Feeling pretty good this morning. I'm at a little over 35.5 hours for the week, which means I only have to get about 4 1/2 more hours in for this week and I'm done! Also fairly sure I'll be able to stay above 1200 points per hour for the week, unless I have just a completely rotten day today.
