1.Hubby has a case manager on the Army side that we have never heard of who is responsible for making all final decisions regarding his care.
2. After 8 WEEKS, there is finally a conference call set up for Tuesday to discuss his care plan.
3. His rehab nurse thinks his memory will "greatly improve" after he receives his hearing devices (he's currently using a headset microphone thing. He responds quicker but doesn't remember the conversations)
4. The mental health team must be on board with any inpatient treatments, and are also (in case we were wondering) the ones to initiate a medical evaluation board. "What are your long term goals since you are unable to perform your job now?"
I am so fucking frustrated right now.
I'm sorry you're all going through this. I'm thinking of you, your husband and your family

I quit smoking and switched to vaping in mid-March. Since then I've slipped up a couple of times when I was drunk and smoked a cigarette, or just half, but last night was bad. I was pretty intoxicated and both my friends were over who pretty much chain smoke when they drink. I think I had like 4 or 5 cigarettes throughout the night. My throat is killing me today and my voice is basically gone.. It makes me realize how happy I am that I switched. And it makes me terrified for Roo. Because I know I'm not going to be able to resist an actual cigarette there. Something about drinking outside and music festivals that just turns me into a chimney. Ugh. I'm dreading it already.

I feel your pain... literally. Trash Mansion got me schmammered last night, and I bummed enough drags of other people's durries to total 1-2 full smokes. Not much, but being my first puff of a cig in months, I'm feeling it today.
Then I wondered why the left side of my face felt so sore, until I remembered the tequila slapshots from Dirty Birds. Damn alcohol and questionable decision-making. But! At least I resisted the Bacon Emporium. Baby steps here.

Context tells me what this means, however I have never heard this word before. You're Aussie is showing again.
Btw, what do you call boxed/bagged wine again? I was talking about it today and totally blanked. I kept thinking gooch, but that's definitely not right.

Ahahaha, definitely not. I'll be keeping the gooch far away from my mouth, thanks. I thought we established this earlier in chat?
It's called goon, ya goon (which reminds me, since you're so amused by our funny place names - there's a suburb of Sydney called Yagoona). The quote of the night from when I saw the Stones in the Hunter was "we've never played a winery before. I heard some of the best wine in Australia is made here. Is this where you get your goon?" Bonus points to Mick for learning the local dialect.
And yes, durries are cigarettes. Urban Dictionary tells me this name is derived from Dunhill Reds, but who knows how accurate that is.
This isn't so much of a grr as it is I'm just worried.
My boyfriend's oldest brother is currently in Kathmandu, Nepal. And if you haven't heard, they got hit with a 7+ magnitude earthquake. He called their younger brother this morning and said he's ok and safe but no one has heard from him since. My boyfriend is looking into what agencies he should contact should the non-communication last for any worrying length of time. When he called this morning he said the earthquake wiped out most of their infrastructure. So we're not in panic mode yet, just worried. We're just hoping he somehow makes it back to Thailand safely.
Not sure it helps but a friend of mine just got some messages on facebook saying that people he knows had checked in as "safe" or something like that. He said he thought it was spam until he realized that it was an emergency alert kind of thing.
He checked in last night/this morning. Also had his brother buy him a plane ticket home for May 18.

I was actually thinking of this today. when I do cheat and have a real one I feel like shit the next morning. something about that damn farm makes me want to light up and I'm kind of bummed about it. ugh.

I'm in a similar boat. I bum a smoke or two (usually not more!) a week from a friend or two in trade fer a drink. I still hate that I do it and feel like shit the next day. I only bummed about six to eight at. 'Roo last year, but likewise I know I'm gonna want a few at least!

Yeah...I think music festivals are a fair time to just take a few days off the wagon, as long as then you can hop back on. I can drink in most atmospheres without needing a cigarette (I too have switched to vaping, but even that I try to do very sporadically), but in a music fest environment, all bets are off. Especially if rolling...it is like impossible to turn down a cigarette then.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

If I went the route to bumming cigs the whole time at Roo my friend would hate me. It would for sure be more than 6-8. I'm considering buying a pack for the weekend. But just one. I'll make that my limit. For weds-sun at Roo, that is a restrictive limit.
I feel like I'm one of the rare few who smoke/vape less while at Roo. Each year I've found that I smoked way less than I planned on it. I don't like carrying things in my pockets (esp cuz a vape could fall out and get gross), so I keep them in my backpack, and it's a pain in the ass to go in there and get it so I kinda just forget. And personally I feel self-conscious about where my smoke/vapor goes so I don't do it when I'm in any sort of crowd...which is most of the time when you're at Roo. I know it's not that big of a deal, because when I go to a fest I know to expect it from other people, but even when blowing the smoke up into the air I feel like there's someone else in the crowd thinking "I wish this asshole wouldn't do that here" (and not just at shows but in the fields and walking around and whatnot too).

Im in that boat with ya. Last year was my first year of vaping in general. Was about 5 months in doing very good when Roo rolled around. I lasted the first half of the ride down until I cracked on cigs and by Thursday sometime I lost my pen about 5 times. I just packed up my vape and smoked cigs the rest of the weekend. Plan on doing the same this year most likely.
Surprised by how many of you guys vape. I quit smoking right around when that was getting popular. Isn't the vaping worse for you, or is that a myth?
I don't think anyone really knows right now. they say the liquid is poison if you drink it...who does that? and so is toothpaste if you want to be like that. also something about having the settings really high causes some sort of reaction so I just keep my settings as low as they go.

It's certainly true that everything can kill you, but I just get a bad feeling about these things. I hope all of you guys find the will power to give up completely. The quality of my life improved considerably when I quit smoking cigarettes.
