April musings part 2

Monday was a difficult day because Keisuke wasn't acting very understanding about the fact that I might be pretty upset about Kiku myself.  I spent the day making myself crazy about what he could be doing because he wasn't answering.  I thought maybe he was falling apart, but I felt my first duty was to support Kiku in her life and death struggle with heroin.  I need to start calling Al-Anon people and get my sponsor set up to help me through those insane/difficult days.  As far as I know, though, he did actually end up doing everything he was supposed to plus he says the anti-depressants are working well.  I need to read up on depression also as that seems to be the root of Kiku's problem.  I can't really blame myself or scream how unfair all this is when it's a true medical condition.  I am asking my higher power for insurance help.  Some financial breaks are coming our way here and there just as I was feeling total despair.  I really want our insurance to pay for inpatient since that is Fairfax's recommendation for her.  I can't quite see jeopardizing our financial resources to pay for it out of pocket; yet I think it's also important to put people above money.  However, all of us are dependent on that for a cushion if something more goes wrong for us. 

Tuesday was a better day because Kiku looked so good, and Keisuke and I had a good day.  I'm not thrilled about losing more money to take him to the correct orientation, but if it means we get his tuition and books paid for 3 years, I guess I can lose another $75.  I think I can't do an extra job while Kiku's in this critical part of treatment.  I'm glad we didn't spend the money for the deck either even though it's in bad shape.  I may need every penny to get her well.  I love her so much.  I believe she can step up now to do her part, but if something happens with her and Blake, I'm not sure how well she'll do - at least not during this first year. 

Spirituality for those who've been to hell and don't want to go back there.  I love that quote from NA book.
